Reducing burden and anxiety for caregivers of veterans with traumatic brain injury and dementia: Randomized controlled trial of the resources for enhancing all caregivers' health-Hope intervention.
Trial report in Rehabilitation psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
PURPOSE/
objectiveCaregivers of veterans with comorbid traumatic brain injury (TBI) and dementia face many challenges managing their loved ones' neurobehavioral functioning and, importantly, their own well-being. This study developed and tested Resources for Enhancing All Caregivers' Health (REACH) Hope, which provides caregivers with one-on-one telehealth education, support, skills building, and personalized digital information.
methodCaregivers (
resultsREACH Hope reduced burden and anxiety for caregivers with moderate to high levels of burden and anxiety compared to the waitlist group. Caregivers with ZBI-12 scores ≥ 21 had increasing treatment benefits with higher burden. Caregivers with Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scores ≥ 13 showed the same pattern for higher anxiety levels. There were no significant treatment group effects for depression, self-efficacy, or veteran safety.
conclusionThis is the first clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a telehealth intervention for caregivers of veterans with both TBI and dementia. REACH Hope represents the first evidence-based intervention of its kind and one that warrants further study and implementation. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
