A gradual and sustainable approach to diagnosing sleep and circadian disturbances in dementia.
Review in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 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
Evidence linking sleep and circadian disruptions to the course of dementias, particularly Alzheimer's disease, has expanded. Such alterations are detectable from preclinical stages and parallel the disease progression. Assessing and managing sleep and circadian disturbances in patients with dementia remains challenging. New technologies are emerging, but their validation is still pending. We prepared a clinical review outlining a stepped-care, gradual, and sustainable approach aimed at achieving the most accurate possible diagnosis of different sleep disturbances. This review encompasses diagnostic methods ranging from questionnaires to instrumental assessments, progressing from simpler to more complex techniques including biological evaluations of circadian rhythm alterations. This work reflects a scientific consensus within the "Sleep" study group of the Italian Association for Dementia (SINdem), supported by certified sleep specialists. The document aims to support clinicians in adopting a tailored approach to the evaluation of sleep disturbances in dementia offering a dynamic framework balancing complexity and feasibility.
