Representing over 20% of people living with dementia globally, this group remains underrepresented in the Western\u2010centric research that currently guides best practices. This is the first study that comprehensively reviews evidence on dementia\u2010related interventions trialled among participants identified as Chinese worldwide across both Chinese and English literature. It addresses critical gaps in previous Anglo\u2010centric reviews by capturing culturally specific interventions and assessing the evolving evidence landscape for Chinese population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched two widely used Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data) and 12 English bibliographical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus, Global Health, WHO Global Index Medicus, Virtual Health Library, Cochrane CENTRAL, Social Care Online, BASE, MODEM Toolkit, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2008 and 2020 (registered on PROSPERO: CRD42019134135). Dual\u2010language teams employed culturally sensitive strategies to maximise coverage of regionally prevalent interventions. Risk of bias was assessed using version two of the Cochrane risk\u2010of\u2010bias tool for randomised trials. A narrative approach was used to review and assess the current landscape of dementia intervention research in Chinese communities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified 183,277 records across Chinese and English databases and included 525 unique RCTs for synthesis (93% published in Chinese). The most commonly studied interventions were multicomponent interventions (35.2%), followed by pharmacological (29.5%), non\u2010pharmacological (18.3%), and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM; 14.5%) interventions. 62.7% of multicomponent RCTs were those combining TCM with Western drugs. Cognitive outcomes were measured in 86.9% of RCTs and functional outcomes in 60.2%, while only 3% evaluated quality of life (QoL) and 1% carer\u2010related outcomes. Most trials (91.8%) were hospital\u2010based. Over 80% of included RCTs were assessed as having overall \u2018some concerns\u2019.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite rapid growth of dementia intervention research in Chinese communities, evidence remains skewed towards hospital\u2010based trials conducted predominantly in mainland China, with a focus on cognitive and functional outcome. High\u2010quality evidence is urgently needed to rebalance research priorities and address critical knowledge gaps in improving QoL, carer support, and community\u2010based interventions. Our finding that most trials were published in Chinese involving TCM illustrates the value of integrating non\u2010English literature in global evidence synthesis, especially for identifying culturally specific interventions common in lower\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/gps.70240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,16]],"date-time":"2026-07-16T19:51:02Z","timestamp":1784231462000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Systematic Mapping Review of 525 Randomised Controlled Trials on Pharmacological and Non\u2010pharmacological Interventions for People Living With Dementia and Their Formal and Informal Carers in Chinese Communities"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7341-3135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Graduate Studies Lingnan University  Hong Kong China"},{"name":"Institute of Policy Studies Lingnan University  Hong Kong China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5628-5266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maximilian","family":"Salcher\u2010Konrad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pharmacoeconomics Department WHO Collaborating Centre for Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement Policies Austrian National Public Health Institute (Gesundheit \u00d6sterreich GmbH\/G\u00d6G)  Vienna Austria"},{"name":"Department of Health Policy Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) London School of Economics and Political Science  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4388-4673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacky C.
