[Caregiver burden among older informal caregivers of patients with dementia and its influence on quality of life : A systematic literature review].
Synthesis in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundProjections revealed that the age group of 60+ years will increase to 1.4 billion people worldwide by 2030. Germany is affected by the demographic change with an increase in people suffering from dementia and a substantial proportion will be cared for by informal caregivers. Quality of life (QOL) is of utmost importance for the stability of domestic care arrangements.
objectivesThis review aimed at collecting and analyzing articles on the association between burden of care and QOL in older informal caregivers of people with dementia. MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in the databases Web of Science and PubMed. German and English papers were considered.
resultsCaregiver burden, health-related characteristics of the informal caregiver, dementia-related characteristics, sociodemographics and contextual factors were significantly negatively associated with informal caregivers' QOL. Support arrangements in order to relieve caregivers were rarely utilized.
conclusionDespite different methods of analysis and instruments used, consistent results regarding the association between caregiver burden and QOL in older informal caregivers were found. The existence of a care situation already negatively influenced the caregivers' QOL. Especially older informal caregivers require special support.
