Validating the CG-STYLE measure in family caregivers of individuals living with dementia.
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
introductionThis study explores the validity and reliability of the measures of the five domains of caregiving style (CG-STYLE).
methodsThe sample included 209 family caregivers for an individual living with dementia. Floor and ceiling effect criteria were specified as ≤20%. Convergent validity was confirmed with correlations between similar domains (≥0.36-0.67 = "moderate"; 0.68-0.89 = "high"). Discriminant validity was shown by correlations (≤0.35) between dissimilar domains. Known groups were run by median split on measures of caregiving approaches.
resultsThe CG-STYLE domains were devoid of floor or ceiling effects except for maladaptive behavioral management strategies (ceiling 30.3%). Convergent and discriminant validity were supported. Known groups validity was supported (d's: 0.35 to 0.93) with a few exceptions. DISCUSSION: Validity of the CG-STYLE measure assures its utility toward targeting and tailoring supports to dementia caregivers' specific CG-STYLE. HIGHLIGHTS: This paper presents validity data for the first-person-centered measure of cognitive and behavioral domains of dementia caregiving style (CG-STYLE). All domains had evidence for reliability and validity on more than 75% of the criterion except for the Orientation to Other domain, which met 66.66% of the criterion. Validity of the CG-STYLE item banks can increase their utility among clinicians, community service agencies, and researchers working with family and friend caregivers for individuals living with dementia.
