Comparative Effectiveness of 2 Interventions for Hispanic Caregivers of Persons with Dementia.
Trial report in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 compare the effectiveness of 2 caregiver interventions with known efficacy: the Resources for Enhancing Caregiver Health-Offering Useful Treatment (REACH-OUT) and the New York University Caregiver Intervention (NYUCI).
design1:1 randomized pragmatic trial.
settingNew York City.
participantsInformal Hispanic caregivers of persons with dementia (N=221; mean age 58.2, 82.8% female, 63.3% adult children, 31.7% spouses).
interventionParticipants were randomized to 6 months of NYUCI (n=110) or REACH-OUT (n=111), balanced on characteristics at baseline. All participants were referred for social supportive services. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcomes were changes between baseline and 6 months in depressive symptoms, measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and caregiver burden, measured using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS).
resultsThere were no differences in outcomes between NYUCI and REACH-OUT. Both interventions showed a reduction in burden (REACH-OUT: 5.2 points, 95% confidence interval (CI)=2.2-8.1, p<.001; NYUCI: 4.6-points, 95% CI=1.7-7.5, p=.002). There were no significant changes on the GDS. Effects for the ZCBS were significant only for spouses and older caregivers.
conclusionAlthough there were no significant intervention group differences, both interventions resulted in significantly reduced burden for Hispanic caregivers at 6 months, particularly for spouses and older caregivers.
