Mapping intersectionality in dementia care research: a decadal scoping review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in dementia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: In the past decade, an increasing number of studies have addressed health care disparities and the complex determinants of care for diverse populations. At the same time, it remains unclear how social categories (e.g. gender, ethnicity, migration status, socioeconomic position) intersect with health care disparities for people living with dementia and may lead to experiences of inequity and inequality. Aim: This scoping review analyzes the use of intersectionality frameworks and intersection analyses in dementia care research over the past decade (2015-2025). Method: We followed Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage scoping review methodology, extended with PRISMA guidelines and used the McCall framework to critically synthesize the included articles. Results: We identified 14 articles that met our criteria for applying an intersectionality framework to analyze data. The most mentioned intersectionality frameworks in publications are from Crenshaw ( Conclusion: Our results indicate a shift in dementia care research toward recognizing lived experiences shaped by multiple axes of identity and contexts. At the same time the primary analytical focus lies in the intersection of two axes of identity (such as sex/gender and ethnicity/migration). A detailed analysis of power dynamics within the healthcare system or the society, and how they may contribute to the experiences of the target group, was mostly not conducted or only mentioned that there is a need to do so.
