Association of physical functioning of persons with dementia with caregiver burden and depression in dementia caregivers: an integrative data analysis.

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
objectivesTo determine whether caregiver relationship and race modify associations between physical functioning of persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregiver's burden and general depressive symptoms.
methodWe pooled data from four behavioral intervention trials (N = 1,211). Using latent growth modeling, we evaluated associations of PWD physical functioning with the level and rate of change in caregiver burden and caregivers' general depressive symptoms and stratified these associations by caregiver relationship and race.
resultsPWD were, on average, 81 years old (68% female) with mean follow-up of 0.5 years. More baseline PWD physical impairment was associated with less worsening in caregiver burden over time (β = -0.23, 95% CI: -0.29, -0.14), but this relationship was not modified by caregiver characteristics. More impaired baseline PWD physical functioning was not associated with changes in depressive symptoms (β = -0.08, 95% CI: -0.17, 0.00), but was associated with less worsening in depressive symptoms among spousal (β = -0.08, 95% CI: -0.17, 0.00) and non-white (β = -0.08, 95% CI: -0.17, 0.00) caregivers.
conclusionsDementia caregivers may experience reduced caregiver-related burden because of adjustment to PWD functional status, while spousal and non-white caregivers may experience less depressive symptoms resultant of adjustment to functional status.
