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

background and purposeThere is no specific indicator for monitoring dementia management. We propose an auxiliary indicator called the community management rate, defined as the proportion of dementia patients who receive informal care from close caregivers or themselves within their community population. The 5-year community management rate is the percentage of dementia patients who are receiving community management at 5 years after they were diagnosed. The aim of this study was to identify how the community management rate has changed over time and how the 5-year community management rate differs according to age, sex, income, residence area, and comorbidities.

methodsWe analyzed customized research database of the Korean National Health Insurance Services from 2003 to 2018. The 5-year community management rate was calculated annually with newly diagnosed dementia patients, and compared among subgroups according to age, sex, income, residence area, and comorbidities.

resultsThis study analyzed 549,297 patients. Among those newly diagnosed with dementia in 2003, the mean duration of community management during the 15-year follow-up was 5.98 years. The community management rate decreased rapidly from 2003 to 2006, after which it increased. A low 5-year community management rate was associated with older age, higher comorbidity burden, nonmetropolitan residence, and low income.

conclusionsThe community management rate seems to reflect diverse patient factors. Efforts are needed to reduce the comorbidity burden and differences in the 5-year community management rate according to residence area and income. This study indicates the need for further investigations into the use of this indicator to monitor the management of dementia patients.
