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

objectivePsychosocial wellbeing is increasingly recognised as a key outcome in dementia research and care, reflecting a shift towards person-centred care and patient-reported outcome measures. However, progress is hindered by a lack of a clear and consistent definition. The present systematic review aimed to establish how previous dementia research has defined the term and how existing definitions may be unified.

methodsA systematic literature review was conducted in

resultsA total of DISCUSSION: The construct of 'psychosocial wellbeing' as currently used in dementia research predominantly incorporates emotional and subjective lived wellbeing, social health, and behavioural symptoms. This indicates an emerging consensus. To progress dementia research and care practice, it is essential that future studies use a common operationalisation.
