1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The Faith Care Family (FCF) Project was a telephone based, volunteer-led intervention for African American Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) family caregivers that was piloted in one predominantly African American church. Focus groups with faith leaders and parishioners informed the training and intervention. Eighteen church volunteers participated in the FCF Project training, but 9 of them were paired with family caregivers and completed the FCF Project intervention. Church volunteers indicated overall significant improvements knowledge of AD/ADRD after the training as well as after the intervention. Quantitative results indicated that caregivers increased their knowledge of dementia, reported improved coping skills, and reported increased positive aspects of caregiving. Feeling a connection, normalizing the challenges of caregiving, gaining or reinforcing knowledge, and sharing community resources were themes from qualitative interviews with the family caregivers. Overall, findings indicate that the FCF Project shows promise as an intervention for African American AD/ADRD family caregivers.
