Caregiving outcomes among informal caregivers of persons with multimorbidity and dementia: a scoping review.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeAn emerging field of research involves caregiving outcomes for persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and co-occurring multimorbidity (ADRD-multimorbidity). This scoping review aims to assess and synthesize the body of literature on caregiving outcomes among informal caregivers of individuals with ADRD-multimorbidity.
methodsWe adhered to the scoping review framework by Arksey and O'Malley (2005) and Levac and colleagues (2010), which encompassed five steps: (1) identify the research question(s), delineate the inclusion and exclusion criteria, (2) search for relevant studies, (3) select studies, (4) chart the data, and (5) collate, summarize, and report results. Electronic databases including Ovid Medline, CINAHL, Embase, and PsycINFO were employed to identify relevant studies.
resultsA total of 1,856 articles were identified and 29 were included in the final review. The majority of studies were quantitative, cross-sectional studies. The two most commonly examined caregiving outcomes were caregiver burden and psychological well-being. Most research on caregiver outcomes treated care recipients' cognitive impairment and chronic conditions separately, rather than exploring their interaction. Most studies examining caregiver burden utilized Zarit Burden Index and its variants. Specific psychological well-being outcomes displayed great variability across studies.
conclusionDespite challenges in synthesizing the extensive variability in the way cognitive status, ADRD-multimorbidity, and caregiving outcomes were measured, included, and reported, this review underscores the intricate challenges of caregiving, especially when dealing with both cognitive impairments and co-occurring chronic conditions. This complexity underscores the need for a deeper understanding of the diverse needs facing caregivers of people with ADRD-multimorbidity.
