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

Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is one of the leading causes of early-onset dementia, causing a progressive deterioration in patient cognition and function. These changes often lead to increased caregiver burden and health self-care neglect due to increased focus on the needs of the person living with FTD. This study aimed to evaluate implementation of an evidence-based virtual health coaching intervention designed to improve self-care of FTD caregivers. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Intervention Fidelity, adherence to the intervention (exposure and content) was measured with a total score ranging from 6 (low adherence) to 18 (high adherence). Overall, about half the sessions were deemed high adherence, with a gradual decrease in total adherence over time, primarily due to decreases in exposure adherence. Our results reflect the anticipated variation in sessions to maintain person-centered care. Overall, a virtual health coaching intervention for FTD caregivers can be delivered with relatively high adherence.
