Dementia knowledge and attitude in rural Kenya: Associations with sociodemographic, religious, and experiential factors.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
Introduction: Misconceptions about dementia are widespread internationally, leading to stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination. This study aimed to understand how sociodemographic, religious, and experiential factors are associated with dementia knowledge and attitudes in rural Kenya. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the general public in Makueni County, Kenya. Regression models examined associations between sociodemographic, religious, and experiential variables with dementia knowledge and attitudes. An attitude target for dementia was calculated to estimate knowledge level required to improve attitudes. Results: A total of 630 participants were recruited. Dementia experiences were associated with better dementia knowledge (ΔR Conclusions: Geographic disparities and cultural factors influence dementia-related stigma. Having past experiences of dementia is key to improving attitudes.
