Trajectories of family resilience among caregivers of older adults with dementia: a longitudinal study in community-based geriatric care settings.
Article in Frontiers in public 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
Background: Dementia poses significant challenges for family caregivers, yet little is known about the developmental trajectories of family resilience and their predictors in this population. Understanding these patterns is essential for developing targeted interventions to support caregivers and enhance care quality. This study aims to identify and predict trajectories of family resilience among dementia caregivers using complementary logistic regression and decision tree approaches, and to explore key factors influencing these trajectories. Methods: A three-wave longitudinal study was conducted among 239 dementia caregivers from 19 communities in Huzhou, China, between June 2023 and July 2024. Growth Mixture Modeling ( Results: Two distinct family resilience trajectories were identified: a "low resilience-rapidly declining" group and a "high resilience-slowly rising" group. Key predictors included caregiver empowerment, self-efficacy, self-rated health, dementia knowledge, social support, and relationship with the patient. The logistic regression model demonstrated higher sensitivity, whereas the decision tree model showed higher specificity. The complementary use of both models enhanced predictive accuracy and interpretability. Conclusion: Family resilience among Chinese dementia caregivers follows heterogeneous trajectories primarily predicted by caregiver empowerment and self-efficacy. The identified thresholds offer candidate criteria for early identification of high-risk families, pending external validation. These findings support the development of tiered, empowerment-focused interventions within community-based dementia care systems.
