1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

introductionGreater dementia caregiver self-efficacy (CSE) may have considerable benefits for persons living with dementia (PLWD). The correlates of CSE have received little study.

methodsSecondary analysis of an 18-month randomized pragmatic clinical trial of 2037 community-dwelling PLWD and their caregivers. Baseline and longitudinal analyses were conducted.

resultsIn cross-sectional multiple regression analyses of baseline data, several factors were significantly associated with lower CSE, including not living with the PLWD, having higher depression scores, distress from PLWD behavioral symptoms, more caregiver strain, and higher PLWD basic activities of daily living functional status. In longitudinal analyses, CSE increased among those with lower baseline CSE, in women more than men, among caregivers with lower baseline depression scores, and among caregivers of PLWD with worse functioning.

conclusionsCSE is associated with modifiable factors and can be improved with comprehensive dementia care interventions, particularly among those with lower baseline CSE.
