1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Objectives: Driving retirement can be a necessary but challenging and emotionally complex transition, especially for people living with dementia. This pilot study evaluated the utility of CarFreeMe™-Dementia (CFM™-D), a telehealth intervention providing tailored education and social support to those living with dementia and their care partners, as they prepare for or adjust to driving retirement. Delivered by empathetic health professionals, CFM™-D is a person-centric, flexible program tailored to address challenges specific to the participants' driving retirement stage and individualized contexts. Research Design and Methods: A single-arm, mixed-methods design was used to follow participants over a 6-month period. Participants received CFM™-D, a 7-8-module semistructured intervention, including education and planning support for driving retirement (impact of dementia, transportation options) and emotional adjustment (grief and loss, stress management). Surveys evaluated the perceived utility of intervention components as well as changes in well-being and readiness for driving retirement over time. An open-ended survey item and semistructured interviews provided additional feedback and a contextual understanding of the empirical data. Results: A total of 50 families enrolled (17 care partners, 16 retiring/retired drivers with memory loss, and 17 care partner-retiring/retired driver dyads). Nearly all participants would recommend the intervention. Care partners reported significantly reduced ( Discussion and Implications: CFM™-D is a useful intervention for retiring drivers with dementia and their family members, with preliminary data suggesting it supports improved well-being and driving retirement preparedness. A randomized controlled trial is needed to determine the efficacy of the CFM™-D intervention and future translation needs.
