Volunteering of Former Caregivers: A Pilot Intervention Study in the Chinese American Community.
Article in Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 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
To enhance caregivers' wellbeing during the post-caregiving transition, we developed a culturally tailored peer mentoring program (PMP) that trains former family caregivers of individuals with dementia to serve as volunteer mentors for current dementia caregivers in the Chinese American community. Using a mixed-method design, we evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effects of the PMP, which included 8 former caregivers and 38 current caregivers in New York City. The program demonstrated strong feasibility, reflected in high retention, fidelity, and positive feedback from former caregivers. Although quantitative data did not show significant improvements in former caregivers' mental health, qualitative data indicated an enhanced sense of purpose, personal growth, and social connections. These results underscore the need to refine the intervention manual and examine its effectiveness in a larger-scale study.
