Nurse-Led Telephonic Care Following Emergency Department Visits for Persons Living With Dementia and Their Care Partners: A Program Description.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Most visits to the emergency department (ED) by persons living with dementia (PLWD) who are then discharged back into the community are preventable. However, care partners and other caregivers of the over 6 million PLWD residing in the United States lack the supports, services and timely access to clinical care to address many common needs in the community. Thus, care partners resort to taking the PLWD to the ED, a sub-optimal environment that can be traumatic to the PLWD, increase iatrogenesis, and ultimately may not resolve the underlying reason for the visit. Longitudinal nurse-led telephonic care (NLTC) provided following an ED visit with community discharge may present an effective and efficient model for health systems to support care partners, decant busy EDs, and provide high-quality, person and family-centered impactful care to support PLWD and their care partners. This paper describes the development of an NLTC program being implemented as part of the Emergency Departments LEading Transformation of Alzheimer's and Dementia Care (ED-LEAD) trial, a factorially designed embedded pragmatic clinical trial in 79 EDs. The NLTC program utilizes components of two previously tested programs, the Aliviado Dementia Care quality improvement program, and the Emergency Medicine Palliative Care Access (EMPallA) nurse-led telephonic palliative and transitional care program to support PLWD and their care partners. Successful implementation of the NLTC program may lead to increased uptake of NLTC programs by health systems, improving quality of care and quality of life for PLWD and their care partners.
