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

purposeHearing loss is highly prevalent in long-term care home (LTCH) residents with dementia ("residents") and exacerbates confusion and communication difficulties. Residents rely on caregivers, including family, for hearing-related care. This study aims to understand the drivers of family caregivers' provision of hearing support to LTCH residents using the Behaviour Change Wheel. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis exploratory two-stage study was guided by the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). A self-report survey (

resultsProvision of hearing support was variable. Gaps in family caregivers' psychological capability, reflective motivation and physical opportunity were identified. Barriers included lacking knowledge, unclear caregiver responsibilities, deprioritising hearing support, COVID-19 restrictions and fragmented collaborations with audiology services.

conclusionsFuture behaviour-change interventions to facilitate family caregivers' provision of hearing support to LTCH residents should include: Improving knowledge of how to provide effective hearing support, establishing caregiver responsibilities and increasing the resources for hearing support within LTCHs.
