Quality aspects of dementia care counselling from the perspective of people living with dementia, their care partners and healthcare professionals: protocol for a participatory scoping review.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionCare counselling for people living with dementia and their care partners provides essential information about dementia and associated symptoms, the challenges of coping with it, access to dementia healthcare services and guidance through the healthcare system. It can therefore be a key component of successful care in the early stages of dementia. For care counselling to be effective, it seems essential that it meets certain quality aspects. Particularly when it comes to providing care counselling to people living with dementia and their care partners, it is important that these aspects are also defined by the individuals themselves, as only they can define what constitutes the quality of tailored counselling for them. To date, there is no comprehensive and consolidated overview of this topic, and it is therefore unclear what quality aspects are important when care counselling people living with dementia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Therefore, we will conduct a participatory scoping review on this topic. For this, we will develop our search string following the PCC mnemonic and we will search in the following databases: MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO) and PsycInfo (via EBSCO). We will also conduct a backward (via reference lists) and forward (via Google Scholar) citation tracking. For active involvement of people living with dementia, their care partners and healthcare professionals we will use the DECIDE-SR framework and involve co-researchers actively in the beginning, at the end of the scoping review and in a workshop with a broader audience of people living with dementia, their care partners and healthcare professionals. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: There are no ethical concerns with conducting a scoping review. We will discuss our results regarding quality aspects of care consulting for people living with dementia and their relatives with a variety of stakeholders in Germany. We will disseminate the results in the form of articles in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journals as well as international and national conferences.
