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

objectiveMore than half of primary caregivers for ADRD patients are adult children, yet there is little empirical evidence on how caring for parents with ADRD affects their employment. Using a nationally representative dataset, this study aimed to estimate incremental work absenteeism costs for adult children of parents with ADRD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND

participantsThe study used the data from the 2015-2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Multivariate regressions and two-part models were employed to estimate the incremental work absenteeism costs among adult children aged 40 to 64 who had at least one parent diagnosed with ADRD, compared with those who did not have ADRD parents. MEASUREMENTS: The incremental work absenteeism costs due to caregiving for adult children with ADRD parents was a cumulated estimation of labor productivity cost at three stages: (1) the likelihood of not working due to unemployment, (2) the likelihood of missing any workdays for caregiving, and (3) the number of workdays missed due to caregiving.

resultsAdult children with ADRD parents were more likely to be unemployed (OR = 1.80, p = 0.024) and 2.95 times more likely to miss work for caregiving (p = 0.002) than those with non-ADRD parents. The difference in the number of workdays missed for caregiving between children with and without ADRD parents was not significant. The incremental effects of having ADRD parents were estimated to be $4,510.29 ($1,702.09-$6,723.69) per person per year.

conclusionsHaving ADRD parents significantly increases the chances of unemployment and missing any workdays for caregiving, leading to higher lost labor productivity costs for adult children with ADRD parents.
