Predictors of long-term care admission in a rural and remote memory clinic.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 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
BackgroundCaregivers face unique challenges when the care recipient transitions from at-home care to long-term care (LTC).ObjectiveWe aimed to elucidate predictors of LTC admission within two years of initial presentation to a Rural and Remote Memory Clinic in Saskatchewan.MethodsAnalysis included 635 patients seen between March 2004 and June 2019 (admitted to LTC within two years = 222, not admitted = 413). Patients were assessed neuropsychologically and administered questionnaires.ResultsThe majority of those who moved to LTC were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The multivariate logistic regression model revealed no statistically significant results. However, univariate logistic regressions showed that advanced age (OR = 1.05, CI = 1.04-1.07), female sex (OR = 1.79, CI = 1.28-2.52), higher Functional Activities Questionnaire (OR = 1.09, CI = 1.06-1.11), lower Mini-Mental State Examination (OR = 0.861, CI = 0.827-0.897), and higher Clinical Dementia Rating score (OR = 1.13, CI = 1.06-1.21) were significant predictors (p < 0.001).ConclusionsBeing older, female, more dependent in activities of daily living, and having more severe dementia predicted LTC admission, potentially helping in planning care.
