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

Dementia care across Europe is characterized by substantial regional disparities in research participation, funding, and care practices, which challenge the development of equitable and inclusive research agendas. The PANEUCARE consortium adopted a pan-European, co-produced approach that integrates professional expertise with the perspectives of people living with dementia and caregivers to identify priorities for a more equitable dementia research landscape. Insights were generated through two workshops with dementia professionals and consultation groups involving people living with dementia and caregivers, followed by deliberative synthesis to explore common challenges, regional barriers, and shared research priorities. Participants highlighted persistent issues including workforce shortages, delayed diagnosis, fragmented care pathways, caregiver burden, and the underrepresentation of Southern and Eastern European contexts in research. At the same time, examples of local innovation, such as community-based services, cross-sector collaboration, and the use of digital tools, demonstrated context-specific resilience and opportunities for cross-regional learning. Priority areas for future research included strengthening cross-regional collaboration, addressing workforce development, improving culturally sensitive and post-diagnostic care, enhancing support for caregivers, and promoting more inclusive participation in research. These insights informed the development of the EQUITABLE framework (Equity, Quality, Urgency, Involvement, Transdisciplinary collaboration, Adaptability, Budget-consciousness, Linguistic and cultural sensitivity, and Engagement), which provides actionable guidance for designing inclusive and context-sensitive dementia research across Europe. By bringing together professional expertise and lived experience, PANEUCARE highlights how Europe's diversity in dementia care can be leveraged as a resource for shared learning and policy development, supporting a more equitable, sustainable, and responsive European dementia research landscape.
