Evaluating the Efficacy of Time for Living and Caring: An Online Intervention to Support Dementia Caregivers' Use of Respite.
Article in Innovation in aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03689179 (Virtual Coaching to Maximize Dementia Caregivers' Respite Time-Use), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Respite, defined as time away from caregiving, is the most requested type of caregiver support. Time for Living and Caring (TLC) is a virtual coaching "app" that helps caregivers schedule and plan their respite time-use. The objectives of this analysis are: (1) to assess the efficacy of the TLC intervention on respite time-use and on caregiver well-being and (2) to identify the key features of the intervention that serve as the likely mechanism of action. Research Design and Methods: A sample of dementia caregivers ( Results: Both immediate and delayed-attention groups reported increased respite time. They also improved in their ability to plan and perceive benefit from their respite time-use over the 16-week intervention period. At 8 weeks, the immediate group did not change in anxiety, whereas the delayed group worsened ( Discussion and Implications: TLC is a promising intervention that may support caregivers' well-being, by helping them schedule and plan their respite to maximize its benefit. The provision of weekly coaching seems to be the intervention component (mechanism) associated with caregiver outcomes. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03689179.
