An especially hidden population: sexual and gender minority dementia caregivers.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 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
backgroundSexual and gender minority (SGM) people are underrepresented in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) caregiving research. This study examines potential factors associated with the health of SGM ADRD caregivers.
methodsA secondary analysis using data from an online survey with a sample of SGM ADRD caregivers (n = 286). Hierarchical regression models tested associations between health outcomes and socioenvironmental, stigma, and risk and protective factors.
resultsBisexual caregivers reported more stress, albeit better health than gay caregivers. Like bisexual caregivers, queer/other caregivers reported higher global health scores than gay caregivers. However, queer/other caregivers did not report significantly more stress. Transgender caregivers reported lower health scores than cisgender caregivers. Hispanic/Latino (H/L) caregivers reported worse health, but lower levels or perceived stress than non-H/Ls. DISCUSSION: This study highlights factors associated with SGM caregivers' health, which can serve as targets for the development of caregiver supports, as well as further exploration of the unique experiences of SGM caregivers. HIGHLIGHTS: The health of SGM ADRD caregivers varies by sexual orientation and gender identity. Bisexual caregivers reported more stress but better health than gay caregivers. Transgender caregivers reported worse health than cisgender caregivers. Hispanic/Latino (H/L) caregivers reported worse health than non-H/L caregivers.
