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

Educational health promotion programs and resources support people to make informed decisions and change their behaviours. Dementia, a name for a group of degenerative brain diseases, affects over 55 million people across the globe. Currently, dementia risk reduction (DRR) is a global health priority as dementia has no known cure. Consequently, educational programs and resources that focus on DRR respond to the global health priority by targeting potentially modifiable risk factors. A project currently being undertaken by the research team is focussed on supporting DRR in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples' primary care settings in Queensland, Australia. One strategy adopted by the research team is to identify safe and appropriate DRR programs and resources that could be integrated into primary care settings. Consequently, the aim of this scoping review was to identify and determine the quality of DRR programs or resources that have been developed or used with Indigenous peoples of Canada, Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States of America, and Australia. The Joanna Briggs method for scoping reviews was used to identify programs and resources developed with, for and by Indigenous peoples of the target countries. Appropriate databases including CINAHL and Medline as well as Google searches for grey literature published in English since 2010 were used to identify sources. Eleven sources were identified. One source was a published article, the other ten resources were videos (n = 5), websites (n = 2) and electronic written resources (n = 3). Given the paucity of evidence of DRR programs and resources currently available for Indigenous peoples the following recommendations are made for future development. They need to: (1). Be firmly grounded in Indigenous health promotion principles and theoretical frameworks and co-designed with, by and for Indigenous peoples. (2). Provide information about how dementia risk can be reduced; and (3). Linked with chronic disease interventions.
