Mental health of caregivers for people with dementia and cerebral palsy as a key determinant of caregiver burden: a multivariable analysis.

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: Informal caregiving plays a vital role in supporting dependent individuals; however, prolonged caregiving is associated with significant physical and psychological strain. Understanding factors associated with caregiver burden is essential for designing effective interventions to protect caregiver health and sustain long-term care systems. Objective: To examine the associations between psychological, physical, and contextual factors on caregiver burden and to identify variables independently associated with caregiver burden. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 73 informal caregivers of people living with dementia or cerebral palsy who required substantial assistance in daily living. Standardized instruments were used to assess caregiver burden (Zarit Burden Interview), anxiety and depression (HADS), mental health and quality of life (SF-36), pain (VAS), and physical activity (IPAQ). Hierarchical multiple regression, mediation, and moderation analyses were performed. Results: Mental health and anxiety showed the strongest independent associations of caregiver burden ( Conclusion: Caregiver mental health is a key determinant of perceived burden of caring for people with dementia and cerebral palsy, exerting a stronger influence than patient dependence or physical demands. Interventions should integrate psychological screening and mental health support to prevent caregiver distress and ensure a sustainable informal care.
