Adaptation and psychometric validation of treatment burden questionnaire for caregivers of older adults with diabetes and dementia.
Article in Aging & mental health, 2026. 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
objectivesCaregivers may experience treatment burden as they care for persons living with dementia and diabetes. This study aims to adapt and validate the Treatment Burden Questionnaire (TBQ) for use among caregivers.
methodFor this cross-sectional study, we pooled data of caregivers enrolled in the Enhanced Quality in Primary Care for Elders with Diabetes and Dementia study (
resultsAll 15 items in the caregiver TBQ demonstrated face validity, had high acceptability, with a Cronbach alpha of 0.89. The PCA identified three domains-medication monitoring burden, healthcare access burden, and social care burden. Subscale domain reliability was 0.86, 0.77, and 0.77, respectively. The three subscales exhibited significant small to moderate correlations with the stress thermometer, Medical Outcomes Study, and physical and mental health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores.
conclusionThe caregiver TBQ is a reliable and valid tool that captures domains of medication monitoring, healthcare access, and social care burden.
