Scale of Assessment of Caregiver Care Burden of People With Dementia: A Systematic Review of Literature.
Review in Translational medicine @ UniSa, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Cases of dementia have increased significantly in recent years. The family represents the main cornerstone of assistance to the elderly suffering from dementia, in particular the caregiver. Family members who take on the role of caregiver are subjected to physical, psychological, emotional, social and financial stress, which can be conceptualised with the term "burden". The aim of this study was to investigate which tools are best suited to measure the type of burden based on the type of dementia for each caregiver. A literature search was undertaken in MEDLINE, CINHAL and The Cochrane Database in September 2022, including articles from the last 20 years and using a combination of keywords and defined inclusion criteria. This literature review has been performed according to the PRISMA statement. From a total of 116 articles regarding the use of burden rating scales for caregivers, 18 scales were selected. The review provides a useful overview of burden assessment scales, classified into three categories, one-dimensional, multidimensional, or distinct concept with a subjective and objective component, in order to adopt appropriate strategies to assess caregiver burden and improve the quality of their health, both in the community and in hospitals. Indeed, the domestic context is the most studied as there is a greater risk of developing the burden of the caregiver: for this reason, some scales include the assessment of both the caregiver and the patient receiving treatment.
