Care Need, Caregiver Availability, and Care Receipt: Variations Across Countries and Over Time in Three Middle-Income Countries.
Article in The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDementia is expected to increase more rapidly in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) than in high-income countries (HIC) in the coming decades. Nevertheless, research on dementia care remains limited for LMIC. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating care needs and care receipt in 3 LMIC: China, Mexico, and India.
methodsUsing harmonized data from the Gateway to Global Aging Data in China, Mexico, and India and focusing on individuals aged 65 and older with cognitive impairment (N = 15 118), we estimated the proportions of care needs related to difficulties with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, and care receipt. We then used logistic regressions to examine the association between caregiver availability and informal care receipt.
resultsWe observed relatively similar patterns in care need measures across countries and over time. In contrast, the association between caregiver availability and informal care receipt showed some cross-country variations. Generally, living with family members was associated with a higher probability of receiving informal care in China and India. However, for Mexico, this association was only evident for men. Additionally, we found that the magnitude of the association between caregiver availability and informal care receipt varied with the care recipient's gender.
conclusionsAlthough living with family members was generally associated with a higher likelihood of receiving informal care in China, Mexico, and India, there are differences in the association between caregiver availability and informal care receipt across countries and over time.
