Gaps

A gap is a question that matters for people with dementia and those who care for them, which few or no studies in this map have answered. They were found by coding every paper by dementia type, care setting, topic and how seizures were found.

Called for, but not done

For each gap, how many papers in the map call for this research in their future-research sections, and how many studies have actually done it.
