Social Support and Sleep Quality Among Bereaved AD/ADRD Caregivers: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Western journal of nursing research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNearly 7 million adults aged 65 and above in the United States live with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD), and it is the fifth most common cause of death. Bereaved AD/ADRD informal caregivers report high rates of sleep disturbances that may impair daily functioning. Social support is a potentially modifiable resource fostering sleep quality; however, little is known regarding the contributing role of social support to sleep quality among bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers.
objectiveThis study explored the contributing role of social support to sleep quality among bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers posting to an online forum.
methodsA qualitative descriptive design addressed the research objective. We collated 1771 forum threads comprising 2 012 195 words posted by bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers on the
resultsA total of 178 threads contained information relevant to the contribution of social support to sleep quality in bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers. Using qualitative content analysis, we identified 3 themes: Restorative Function (Safe/Secure), Relational Identity Function (Belonging/Connection), and Comforting Presence Function (Warmth/Comfort).
conclusionFindings further the understanding of the social context in which sleep quality in bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers is experienced. Findings from this study may inform clinical practice and research efforts aimed at enhancing sleep quality through social support in bereaved AD/ADRD caregivers.
