Creating harmony at home via environmental cueing: A feasibility trial of a non-pharmacological intervention for rural caregivers of persons with dementia.
Trial report 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. It is linked to trial NCT05202223 (Creating Harmony at HOME), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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

Abstract
introductionBehavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia (BPSDs) and functional impairment have a major impact on quality of life for people living with dementia (PLWD). Development of caregiver-initiated interventions, including environmental assessment and modification, are priorities in the field.
methodsAn open-label study of 40 caregivers of PLWD with BPSDs that underwent a 6-week telehealth person-environment intervention, Harmony at HOME, was conducted. Feasibility was assessed by improved caregiver mastery.
resultsTwenty-eight caregivers completed the intervention, which increased caregiver mastery and decreased stress and burden. There were statistically significant improvements in functional performance of the person living with dementia (p < 0.005) and caregivers' satisfaction with the person living with dementia's functional performance (p < 0.001). DISCUSSION: The intervention increased caregivers' skills and knowledge in assessing and modifying the environment to address BPSDs. Although overall caregiver mastery was not changed significantly, additional clinical research assessing caregiver mastery in relation to specific caregiving tasks within the home environment is needed. CLINICAL
trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT05202223 HIGHLIGHTS: Aging in place is difficult to achieve for individuals with dementia. A novel dyadic care intervention, Harmony at HOME, improved caregiver outcomes. Future care research should explore performance-based patient outcomes.
