Clinician-interpreter collaboration in multilingual dementia assessments: Barriers, role boundaries, and clinician training needs.
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
introductionClinicians often work with interpreters when assessing multilingual patients for dementia. We examined factors shaping clinician-interpreter communication and which aspects of clinician practice could be strengthened through training.
methodsWe interviewed 16 clinicians and 24 interpreters involved in cognitive assessments across Australia between May 7 and December 9, 2024. Data were analyzed using the framework approach.
resultsClinicians valued interpreters' expertise beyond language translation, including identifying language cues (e.g., pronunciation or word-finding difficulties) and mediating across cultures. In turn, they facilitated patients' and families' acceptance of interpreters. However, booking processes, interpreting modes (e.g., telephone interpreting), unclear role boundaries, and time constraints (especially for briefings and debriefings) limited communication quality. Both groups indicated that clinician training was needed to support culture-fair assessment and include interpreters as part of the care team. DISCUSSION: Training clinicians to work effectively with interpreters may improve diagnostic accuracy and care for multilingual patients with dementia.
