Effectiveness of care provided by an itinerant community caregiver in reducing the burden and violence of family caregivers of impaired elderly in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: A randomized clinical trial.

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
introductionThe aging population and the rise in chronic diseases are linked to a higher number of elderly individuals with impairments. These individuals often depend on family caregivers for basic daily activities, which can impose a significant burden and increase the risk of violence against them.
objectiveTo assess the effectiveness of itinerant community caregivers (ICC) in reducing burden, depression and risk of violence among family caregivers of impaired elderly (FCIE), while also increasing their social support.
methodsRandomized controlled trial with 38 pairs of elderly people and their caregivers. For six months, twice a week, the ICC spent three hours with the elderly, completing tasks given by the FCIE. The primary outcomes were reduction of at least one level in the burden, and or in the risk of violence against the elderly. The secondary outcomes were a decrease in depressive symptoms and/or an increase in social support. Multiple log binomial regression models were used to assess the relationship between the predictors and the response variables.
resultsIn the FCIE group, most individuals providing care were women who spent over 16 hours each day in the task of caring for the impaired elderly, with most falling between the ages of 41 and 60. Over half of them were children of the elderly participants. In the intervention group, there was a significant decrease in the likelihood of violence against the elderly, with a 10-fold reduction. However, other endpoints did not present significant changes.
conclusionThe involvement of an ICC in the care of impaired elderly can contribute to reducing domestic violence by FCIE.
