Exploring Loneliness in Family Caregiver-Care Recipient Dyads: Implications for Caregiver Burden.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 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
aimFamily caregivers (CGs) and care recipients (CRs) with cognitive impairment are vulnerable to loneliness, yet the dynamics of loneliness within CG-CR dyads remain underexplored. This study used latent class analysis to identify distinct profiles of loneliness in CG-CR dyads and examine their association with caregiver burden.
methodsData from 260 dyads of family CGs and CRs with cognitive impairment in Singapore were analyzed. A three-item UCLA Loneliness Scale assessed loneliness in CGs and CRs.
resultsThree dyadic loneliness profiles were identified: "less lonely dyads" (74%), "less lonely CGs with severely lonely CRs" (16%), and "lonely CGs with moderately lonely CRs" (10%). Compared with CGs in the "less lonely dyads," CGs in the "lonely CGs with moderately lonely CRs" dyads reported significantly higher caregiver burden.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the need to address loneliness at the dyadic level and identify CGs' loneliness as a primary driver of caregiver burden.
