Positive aspect of caregiving among primary informal dementia caregivers in Singapore.
Article in PloS one, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundThe present study investigated the factor structure of positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) scale among primary informal caregivers providing care to persons with dementia (PWD) in Singapore.
methods282 primary informal caregivers of PWD were recruited from the Institute of Mental Health, and Changi General Hospital and administered the 9-item PAC scale. A confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) was conducted to test the model fit of the 9-item PAC proposed by the scale developer and multiple linear regression was used to investigate the significant socio-demographic correlates.
resultsCFA showed that the 2-factor structure including 'Self-Affirmation' and 'Outlook on Life' had an acceptable model fit. After controlling for confounding variables, Malay caregivers were associated with higher scores on PAC and 'Self-Affirmation' compared to caregivers of other ethnicities. Caregivers with Secondary or below education level had higher PAC and 'Outlook on Life' scores. Caregivers who had received formal training scored higher in PAC, 'Self-Affirmation' and 'Outlook on Life'. DISCUSSION: The present study confirmed that the 2-factor structure of the 9-item PAC was suitable for informal caregivers of PWD in Singapore. The findings have important implications for locally available interventions to enhance caregiver's psychological well-being and reduce burden of care.
