Effective Solutions for Caregivers of Older Adults: A Review of Systematic Reviews.
Synthesis in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This umbrella review aims to describe caregiver interventions tested across populations of informal caregivers of older adults and to examine the effect of caregiver interventions on depression, burden, and quality of life across intervention types and care-recipient populations. PubMed, Scopus, APA PsycInfo, ABIM, Sociological Abstracts, PAIS, and EconLit databases were systematically searched. Forty systematic reviews were identified as meeting inclusion criteria. Most commonly, interventions focused on improving outcomes for caregivers of older adults with dementia. Among the included reviews, caregiver depression was most likely to be reduced by caregiver interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) were most effective. The use of information and communication technologies to deliver caregiver interventions is increasingly common. Standardization of intervention classifications and transparent reports of intervention delivery details will strengthen research in this field.
