Developing an at-home dementia rehabilitation intervention: An iterative qualitative codesign study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThere is limited availability of community-based rehabilitation for people with dementia. This study explored stakeholder perspectives to inform the design of an occupational therapy-led at-home dementia rehabilitation programme.
methodsFour co-design workshops were conducted over 6 months with 16 participants, including people with dementia, care partners and health-care professionals. Transcribed workshop discussions underwent iterative thematic analysis to inform the final intervention components and philosophical foundations. CONSUMER AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: People with dementia and their care partners discussed what an at-home dementia rehabilitation programme should entail. As consumer and community contributors, they informed programme refinements by shaping decisions about intervention content at each workshop.
findingsFour themes underpinned the intervention components and philosophical foundations for the programme: (1) accessible dementia care, driven by increased community awareness; (2) person-centred care: understanding a person's unique needs, preferences and goals; (3) empowerment through community engagement and continuous support; and (4) coordinated multidisciplinary care, essential for continuity and effectiveness. Person-centred care requires tailoring individual goals within a multidisciplinary structure, with allied health assistant intervention delivery and personalised resources prepared with oversight from the occupational therapist. Stakeholders endorsed programme leadership by occupational therapists, with physiotherapy support where mobility or exercise components were required and delivery by allied health assistants under clinical supervision.
conclusionCodesign workshops defined an at-home dementia rehabilitation intervention founded on occupational therapy philosophies of care, with accessibility, empowerment and a comprehensive referral and intake process as central to individualisation. Assessing the programme's feasibility and effectiveness may enable personalised care that helps people with dementia maintain independence at home. Allied health assistants may offer a cost-effective option, improving access to rehabilitation for people with dementia, as with other chronic conditions.
