Patterns of Caregiving Among Older Adults With and Without Dementia: A Latent Class Analysis.

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
objectivesWe identify common patterns of caregiving or "care types" among older adults with and without dementia. Prior research has focused on primary caregivers and on the independent effects of individual caregiving attributes. We examine multiple caregivers of older adults, including the primary caregiver, and how multiple caregiving attributes co-occur to shape caregiving types.
methodsWe link 2015 care recipient (N = 1,423) and unpaid caregiver data (N = 2,146) from the National Health and Aging Trends Study and the National Study of Caregiving. Latent class analysis of caregiving attributes, representing care intensity and regularity, and various care activities, was used to construct care types. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine if the recipients' dementia status and caregivers' background characteristics predicted membership in care types.
resultsFive distinguishable care types were identified. Caregivers who were female, adult children, or coresidents, those caring for persons with dementia, and those who had paid help had higher odds of being in the more demanding care types. Conversely, older, White caregivers and those with support for their caregiving activities were less likely to be in a demanding care type. DISCUSSION: Care types can help us understand sources of heterogeneity in caregiving and effectively target caregiver support services and interventions.
