Assessing Racial and Ethnic Differences in Cardiovascular Disease in U.S. Family Caregivers of Persons With Dementia: Analysis of Data from the 2015-2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

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 current study examined racial and ethnic differences in psychological, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD conditions among family caregivers (FCGs) of persons with dementia. We used the 2015-2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data. The sample included a total of 6,132 FCGs of persons with dementia. Compared to non-Hispanic White FCGs, non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic Asian FCGs were less likely to have depression. The Other racial/ethnic FCG group was more likely to currently smoke. Non-Hispanic Black FCGs were less likely to have exercised, more likely to be obese, and more likely to have been diagnosed with diabetes. No differences in CVD conditions (e.g., angina/coronary heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction) were detected between racial/ethnic minority FCGs and non-Hispanic White FCGs. Future studies should investigate relationships between racial/ethnic minority-specific caregiving and CVD by including a larger, racially and ethnically diverse population of FCGs. [
