Associations between caregiver mastery and anxiety in persons living with dementia: A study of dyads living in community.
Trial report in Geriatric nursing (New York, N.Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Anxiety is common in persons living with dementia (PLWD), and particularly burdensome for caregivers. Little is known about how caregiver factors such as caregiver mastery can influence anxiety in PLWD. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between caregiver mastery and anxiety in PLWD. Secondary data analysis was conducted using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of 170 dyads of community residing PLWD and their caregivers. Logistic regression analyses were used for data analyses. After controlling for covariates (e.g., age, cognitive impairment, sleep impairment, and depression), a higher level of caregiver mastery was related to lower odds of anxiety presentation in PLWD (OR=0.870, 95% CI=0.759-0.998, p=0.046). As caregiver mastery is related to anxiety in PLWD, a comprehensive education program for caregivers that can improve their caregiving skills and mastery is suggested to improve anxiety in PLWD.
