Caregiver Burdens, Health Risks, Coping and Interventions among Caregivers of Dementia Patients: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Over 55 million people reportedly suffer from dementia worldwide. In Japan, it is estimated that 1 in 5 people over 65 years old will have dementia by 2025, of which more than 20% will live with symptoms that require home/nursing care. Given the lack of effective medical treatments for dementia, informal caregivers play essential roles in allowing dementia patients to live with dignity. Our review focusing on caregiver burden showed that this burden has not been sufficiently addressed, despite having negative effects on caregivers' health, employment, and finances. It is important to consider non-pharmacological interventions that contribute to effective coping strategies for mitigating the caregiver burden. Online communication tools may be a viable intervention measure to educate caregivers on the importance of sharing resilient coping strategies to reduce their stress so that they can continue to provide care for their loved ones.
