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.

Abstract

backgroundDementia care partners are at elevated risk of adverse mental health outcomes and often feel unprepared for their caregiving role. Individualized Coordination and Empowerment for Care Partners of Persons with Dementia (ICECaP) is an intervention that involves one-on-one individualized support from a dementia care coordinator for a dementia care partner. At least once monthly contact is made from a dementia care coordinator to the dementia care partner by telephone, video conferencing, email, and/or in-person support.

aimsWe aimed to determine whether ICECaP improves care partner readiness and whether improvements in readiness are associated with mental health improvements.

methodsIn this randomized control trial of ICECaP, n = 61 care partners completed 12-months of the ICECaP intervention, and n = 69 care partners received routine clinical support (controls) in an outpatient memory care clinic (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04495686). We compared changes in care partner preparedness, dementia knowledge, and self-efficacy from baseline to 12-months between ICECaP and controls.

resultsICECaP care partners improved on self-reported preparedness for caregiving from baseline to 12-months to a significantly greater degree versus controls (p =.001, η DISCUSSION/

conclusionsICECaP significantly improves dementia caregiver preparedness, which is associated with improved mental health.
