Feasibility and Acceptability of a Remotely Delivered Weighted Blanket Intervention for People Living With Dementia and Their Family Caregivers.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The COVID-19 pandemic amplified the need for interventions to support community-dwelling families living with dementia. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a remotely delivered weighted blanket intervention for people living with dementia, and the feasibility of collecting outcome measures specific to people with dementia and caregivers. A prospective, within subjects, pre-post design was used; 21 people with dementia and their caregivers participated. Measures of feasibility (days blanket was used for the recommended duration, injuries/adverse events, enrollment, and withdrawal rate, time to recruit sample) and acceptability (tolerability, satisfaction, and benefit perceived by participants with dementia and caregivers) were examined. Feasibility of collecting measures was examined through missing data. Results indicated high feasibility and acceptability. Collecting caregiver completed outcome measures was feasible, but measures completed by self-report by people with dementia was not. Weighted blankets are a promising tool for this population that warrant further examination to determine efficacy.
