Understanding financial hardship in families of people living with dementia: Protocol for a scoping review to identify subjective self-report measures that evaluate financial hardship.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFinancial hardship (including financial stress, financial strain, asset depletion, and financial toxicity) is a highly relevant construct among the 6.9 million people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in the United States and their family networks. This scoping review will identify existing measures and approaches for capturing financial strain among these families. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will be reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches will be conducted in Embase (Embase.com), Medline (Ovid), CINAHLComplete (EbscoHost), AgeLine (EbscoHost), APA PsycInfo (EbscoHost), Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection databases to identify tools, measures, or approaches for measuring self-reported financial hardship among family members of people living with ADRD. Data elements from both the National Health and Aging Trends Study and the associated National Study of Caregiving will also be considered. Two independent raters will screen the search results and discrepancies with be resolved by a third rater. Extraction will include the use of artificial intelligence-based software and verification by an independent human rater; any changes that are made to the AI-generated extraction will be reviewed by a second independent rater. A frequency analysis will be conducted to analyze the data, and a summary of the psychometric properties of each of the identified measures will be presented. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The findings from this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Ultimately, this work will inform the development of a new patient-reported outcome measurement system designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the different aspects of financial hardship for families of people living with ADRD. SCOPING REVIEW REGISTRATION: In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P), the following protocol was registered via https://osf.io on March 14, 2025 (registration DOI: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/J26KT).
