Unmet Needs in Dementia Care: The Predictive Role of Caregiver Challenges.
Article in International journal of geriatric psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesIn low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), family caregivers provide most of the support for people with dementia (PWD), yet little is known about how caregiver needs relate to unmet needs of PWD
methods140 Brazilian dyads underwent in-home interviews, with assessments including a comprehensive needs of care instrument, caregiver burden, mental health, and caregiving experience, as well as PWD symptoms and demographics.
resultsAll dyads had at least one unmet need. A combined model incorporating predictors from both PWD and caregivers indicated that PLWD having lower education, being male, and exhibiting more neuropsychiatric symptoms are associated with more unmet needs. Additionally, caregiver-related factors such as being male, having fewer years of caregiving experience, and having more unmet needs of their own were also linked to greater unmet needs in PWD. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Caregiver well-being significantly affects the quality of dementia care. Caregivers' unmet needs likely reflect both their personal limitations and broader care challenges. Addressing both caregiver and PWD needs through targeted support strategies is essential for improving dementia care in LMICs, and especially in culturally and economically diverse settings.
