Change in Fall Status of Older People With Dementia and Caregiving Difficulties: Moderation Effects of Living Arrangements.

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
objectivesWe aim to investigate the associations between 2-year fall status among community-dwelling older people with dementia and care partners' emotional, physical, and financial difficulties, with living arrangements (co-residence vs. separate residence) as a moderator.
methodWe used the 2015-2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study and the linked survey 2017 National Study of Caregiving (935 care partners for 567 community-dwelling older people with dementia). We employed multilevel generalized linear regression models to examine the associations of fall status between 2015 and 2017 with caregiving difficulties in 2017 for co-residing and non-co-residing care partners. We then evaluated the moderation effect of care partners' living arrangements.
resultsFor co-residing care partners, high (p = 0.001), increased (p = 0.001), and decreased (p = 0.001) fall frequency over 2 years was significantly associated with emotional difficulties. For non-co-residing care partners, high (p < 0.001), increased (p = 0.001), and decreased (p = 0.002) fall frequency was significantly associated with their physical difficulties. Compared to co-residing care partners, those who lived apart experienced greater physical difficulties when the fall frequency increased over 2 years (p < 0.05), but this effect became non-significant after the Bonferroni correction. High fall frequency was significantly associated with financial difficulties for co-residing (p = 0.009) and non-co-residing (p = 0.003) care partners, and decreased fall frequency was only significantly associated with financial difficulties for non-co-residing care partners (p = 0.018). All findings for financial difficulties became non-significant after the Bonferroni correction. DISCUSSION: This study found differential associations between fall status over 2 years and care-related difficulties by care partners' living arrangements. Preventing falls for this population can potentially reduce the informal caregiving burden, especially the emotional difficulties for co-residing care partners and the physical difficulties of non-co-residing caregivers. Tailored interventions to manage fall risk among older people with dementia and support care partners with different living arrangements are crucial to improving their well-being.
