In-home respite care in dementia: An evolutionary concept analysis.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Objective: To clarify the concept of in-home respite care in dementia care and identify changes in the service content over time to help providers and users better understand this sustainable service. Method: A literature search was conducted through Chinese databases China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed, as well as English databases PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences, and Embase. Articles published from January 1980 to December 2024 were identified. Rogers' conceptual analysis of evolution was used for this concept analysis, including six steps: identifying the concept and its context, selecting appropriate databases, determining relevant literature, identifying the concept's attributes, antecedents, and consequences, choosing a concept exemplar if appropriate, and defining hypotheses and implications for further concept development. Results: Thirty-one articles were included. This conceptual analysis revealed the evolution of in-home respite care service content over time and summarized three key attributes. The antecedents included factors related to people with dementia, family caregivers, and the social environment (aging society, government support). The consequences of in-home respite services include delayed institutional placement and reduced security risk events for people with dementia. For family caregivers, consequences include reduced caregiving stress, improved quality of life, and perceived benefits from rest periods. Conclusion: In-home respite care can be interpreted as family-centered home care that provides temporary relief from family caregivers' responsibilities in caring for people with dementia to reduce caregiver burden. The trend of service specialization and attention on dementia families' needs in service provision are future research focus.
