1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Family caregiving is prevalent and may have adverse impacts on health, particularly for elder caregivers who tend to have chronic health conditions which need ongoing self-management. Interventions that empower family caregivers to take care of themselves are needed. This study examined the impact on caregivers of participation in a self-care skill-building, self-efficacy enhancing, community-based program called powerful tools for caregiving (PTC). We assessed health-risk behaviors, self-care, and psychological well-being among 118 adult caregivers who participated in PTC in western Washington state between July 2001 and June 2004, about half of whom were aged 65 or older. Health-risk behaviors were reduced and self-care and psychological well-being improved significantly, overall and for each stratum of age (> or =65 years of age versus <65).
