[Psychosocial Stressors and Resources of Live-in Caregivers in German Households - a Qualitative Study].
Article in Gesundheitswesen (Bundesverband der Arzte des Offentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (Germany)), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
aim of the studyLive-in caregivers who provide household- and person-related services for the elderly in need of care in German private households mostly come from abroad. These labour conditions generally do not meet any tariff or labour law-related binding regulations. Live-in caregivers are additionally exposed to social isolation and the confusion of work and privacy. The study is full of gaps because the target group cannot be reached easily. The aim of the present study was to qualitatively explore the work and health situation of live-in caregivers with a focus on workplace-related stressors and resources. METHODOLOGY: The recruitment process was carried out via placement agencies, online portals, social network platforms as well as care associations. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with live-in care-givers in private households. The evaluation was based on Mayring's content analysis with inductive category formation. RESULTS AND
conclusionsPermanent presence, communication difficulties and interpersonal conflicts are daily burdens for live-in caregivers. These burdens are associated with impaired mental and physical health in terms of exhaustion, insomnia, increased irritability and depression symptoms. However, live-in caregivers also receive support from third parties and distance themselves emotionally and locally from the direct care situation. The feeling of gratitude, the experience of being accepted and also financial security are mentioned as further relevant resources. While the target group can be made visible through resource-intensive recruiting efforts in the research context, the introduction of a common occupational definition is necessary in the political context.
