Finding Solutions to Addressing Inequalities in Dementia Diagnosis and Care: Recommendations From a Country-Wide Consultation.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2026. 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
backgroundAccessing a diagnosis and receiving adequate care and support for dementia can often be subject to various inequalities. Personal-, community-, and infrastructure-level factors can contribute to and often intersect in causing unequal health and care outcomes. With a paucity of evidence to inform solutions for dementia inequalities, the aim of this public consultation exercise was to explore potential solutions to inequalities in dementia diagnosis and care with different dementia stakeholders.
methodsUtilising a future workshop approach, we conducted 11 in-person and remote consultation workshops to discuss experienced barriers of accessing diagnosis and care; discuss an ideal-world scenario where no barriers exist; and solutions to reach more equitable dementia diagnosis and care with people with dementia, unpaid carers, health and social care professionals, and third sector representatives. Discussions were synthesised by the research team and one public consultation group and mapped against the Dementia Inequalities model.
resultsA total of 131 different stakeholders in dementia attended 11 workshops across England. Solutions were identified across three layers of inequalities, with the majority of solutions proposed on a community and infrastructure level. Examples included link workers, a social care career pathway, Community Champions, adequate home equipment, and digital training. Some solutions require Governmental input, such as creating career pathways in the social care workforce, similar to the NHS, to train and maintain good paid carers, as well as a cross-UK national dementia strategy raising the priority of dementia and required changes.
conclusionsDementia inequalities could be addressed via diverse and holistic approaches. With limited evidence to date on the impact of some of the proposed solutions, future research needs to build on these recommendations and design and test suitable interventions.
