Barriers and Facilitators for Caregivers Providing Involuntary Oral Care to Individuals With Dementia: A Qualitative Literature Review.
Review in International journal of dental hygiene, 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
objectiveTo assess barriers and facilitators for caregivers providing involuntary oral care to individuals with dementia.
methodsA qualitative review was performed. Due to the scarcity of studies on involuntary oral care provision, the strategy to reach the aim was to identify barriers and facilitators for providing involuntary care in general, and to infer from these barriers and facilitators for providing involuntary oral care. The online databases PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PhilPapers were searched for papers on involuntary care. In addition, three key journals and the reference lists of the included studies were hand searched for additional studies. Thematic analysis was used.
resultsIn total, 18 studies were included, four on involuntary oral care provision and 14 on involuntary care in general. Multiple barriers and facilitators were identified and categorised in three main themes: Work environment (e.g., workload), legislation (e.g., guidelines) and provision (e.g., attitude).
conclusionThe provision of involuntary oral care involves more and larger barriers than the provision of oral care to nursing home residents. In addition, this review highlights the need for more research about barriers and facilitators for involuntary oral care provision to individuals with dementia.
