JC Stand-by-U- development and evaluation of an in-home respite service model using mixed-method quasi-experimental design: study protocol.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06981117 (Jockey Club Stand-by-U Caregivers Community Support Project), 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.

Abstract
backgroundIn an ageing society, most older adults who require long-term care are still living in their homes and communities. Their families are burdened by caregiving duties, but their unique needs are often overlooked. In response to the increasing needs of respite care, the Jockey Club Stand-by-U (JC Stand-by-U) Caregivers Community Support Project aims to study the family caregivers' needs and how to best support them in the context of Hong Kong.
methodsThe caregivers and their care recipients are evaluated by a comprehensive assessment before and after the intervention and followed up in 3, 6, 12 months, separately. Caregivers are divided into four needs levels and provided by different types of services, delivered by either trained volunteers or substitute caregivers. A mixed-method quasi-experimental study with a comparison group of non-users of in-home respite will be conducted to evaluate the in-home respite model designed in this project. Questionnaire data will be used to evaluate the effect of the service model quantitatively, while the service records will be used to analyse the quality of service and the mechanism of service effect qualitatively. DISCUSSION: Caregivers are expected to show improvement in their mental wellbeing after the respite. The intervention follows a screening-guided approach which balances the resource supply and the needs of the caregiver, optimising the effectiveness and sustainability of the in-home respite programme. In the long-run, policymakers can ultilise the result from this study when designing long-term care plan in this ageing society.
