Relationship between anxiety and fatigue in dementia family caregivers: hope as a mediator.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThis study investigated the mediating role of hope in the relationship between anxiety and fatigue in family caregivers of individuals with dementia.
methodsA cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected from 84 family members caring for a patient with dementia in Tzu Chi Hospital in eastern Taiwan. Instruments were the Herth Hope Index, fatigue, and anxiety scales.
resultsThe findings revealed a significant negative correlation between fatigue and hope (r = -.431, p <.01), a significant positive correlation between fatigue and anxiety (r =.584, p <.01), and a significant negative correlation between hope and anxiety (r = -.364, p <.01). Furthermore, the results indicated that anxiety indirectly predicted fatigue through hope. Hope was a mediating variable between anxiety and fatigue, accounting for 15.6% of the mediating effect.
conclusionsPrioritizing the physical and mental health of family caregivers of individuals with dementia by fostering hope can help alleviate their caregiving fatigue and enhance their overall well-being.
