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.

Abstract

purpose of the studyThis study determined whether the NYU Caregiver Intervention for Adult Children (the NYUCI-AC) significantly reduced primary subjective stress for adult child caregivers of persons with dementia. DESIGN AND

methodsThe NYUCI-AC was evaluated within a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. The sample included 107 adult child caregivers of persons with dementia (n = 54 assigned to the multicomponent treatment group; n = 53 assigned to a contact control group). Participants completed comprehensive assessments at baseline and at 4-month intervals during the first year and every 6 months thereafter. The focus of the current analysis was on the effects of the NYUCI-AC on change in primary subjective stress over 8, 12, and 18 months.

resultsIndividual growth curve models found that caregivers in the NYUCI-AC treatment condition indicated statistically significant (p < .05) linear declines in overall negative reactions to behavior problems over a 1-year period when compared with controls. Adult child caregivers in the NYUCI-AC also indicated greater decreases in negative reactions to disruptive behavior problems when compared with controls over 8, 12, and 18 months. IMPLICATIONS: The NYUCI-AC offered adult child caregivers counseling and support that improved their ability to manage their reactions to disruptive behaviors. This occurred despite the fact that other primary subjective stressors, such as role captivity and role overload, were not reduced.
