Sleep quality differences among caregivers for persons living with and without dementia.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThis study examined the relationship between caring for a person with/without dementia and caregiver sleep quality, and analyzed the extent to which perceived benefits of caregiving and assessments of caregiver-recipient relationship quality explain the relationship between care recipient dementia status and caregiver sleep quality.
methodData were analyzed from caregivers for persons with no or probable dementia who participated in the 2017 National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) and National Health and Aging Trends Study. Caregiver sleep quality was measured using NSOC time diary interview. Perceptions of caregiving and relationship quality were assessed using 4-item surveys. We used multivariable logistic regressions to examine the association between care recipient dementia status and caregiver sleep quality controlling for covariates.
resultsThe sample consisted of 1,374 caregivers (mean age = 62.3, SD = 14, 68.3% women, 69.4% non-Hispanic White). In multivariable models adjusting for caregiver and care recipient characteristics, being a caregiver for someone with dementia was associated with 23% lower odds of reporting "excellent/very good" sleep quality (OR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.61-0.98,
conclusionImproving assessments of relationship quality and amplifying perceptions of caregiving benefits may reduce disparities in sleep quality between caregivers of persons living with or without dementia.
