1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in healthcare education and rehabilitation. The Augmented Reality Education Experience (AREduX) is a prototype designed to simulate the physical and cognitive symptoms of dementia, enhancing empathy and understanding among healthcare professionals and caregivers of people living with dementia (PLWD). Extrapolating from what we learned from focus-group interactions with study participants, AREduX usability testing, NASA Task Scale, and prototype implementation into an educational context, this paper presents possible applications of AREduX beyond the PLWD population. It describes how AREduX can be used beyond dementia care for broader applications in rehabilitation, competency-based education, and experiential training for physical and rehabilitation scenarios.
