Programmatic research outcomes used to establish the evidence-base of dementia caregiving support programs: An analysis of
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionA substantial number of evidence-based dementia caregiving support programs positively impact family and friend caregivers. Researchers and service organizations have successfully translated and delivered a subset of these programs to caregivers and are included in
methodsPeer-reviewed, published research articles that (1) reported at least one dementia caregiver outcome, and (2) used a controlled trial or pre/posttest study design were abstracted from the BPC database. Across 45 evidence-based programs in BPC, 128 articles met inclusion criteria for data coding and descriptive analysis. Research outcomes (e.g., stress, depressive symptoms), efficacy findings (e.g., beneficial, no effect), and the type of study design used (e.g., pre/posttest, treatment/control) were coded from each article.
resultsTwelve programmatic outcomes were identified focusing on DISCUSSION: The majority of BPC programs positively impact caregiver well-being outcomes but limited attention is given to other person-centered and strength-based research outcomes including supports for caregivers, unmet needs, and positive aspects of caregiving. Additional research is needed by both established and new non-pharmacological caregiving interventions to target and evaluate the impact of these underrepresented outcomes. Highlights: Best Programs for Caregiving is an online database of dementia caregiving programs.BPC programs mainly target deficit-focused, medical-based, well-being outcomes.Few BPC programs target positive aspects of caregiving and service use outcomes.More research is needed to evaluate underrepresented caregiver outcomes.
