Effects of Physical Exercise Program for Older Family Caregivers of Persons With Dementia.
Article in American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07776470 (Examining the Effectiveness of Ergonomics and Exercise Training in Caregivers), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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

Abstract
Self-efficacy plays a major role in improving health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a physical activity program that utilized four self-efficacy resources in older family caregivers of persons with dementia. Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with control group was used. Study participants were 64 family caregivers aged 60 years or older. The intervention included a 60-minute group session per week for 8 weeks along with individual counseling and text messages. The experimental group showed significantly higher self-efficacy than the control group. In addition, physical function, quality of life related to health, caregiving burden, and depressive symptoms were significantly improved in the experimental group in comparison with those of control group. These findings suggest that a physical activity program with a focus on the resources of self-efficacy may be not only feasible but also effective for older family caregivers of persons with dementia.
