From Resource Activation to Utilization: A Process-Outcome Analysis in Telephone-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Family Caregivers of People With Dementia.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess whether resource activation (i.e., fostering strengths and healthy aspects of the patient), aggregated across therapy sessions during telephone-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (TEL-CBT), is associated with post-therapy psychosocial resource utilization (i.e., the extent to which individuals utilize resources to achieve motivational goals) among family caregivers of people with dementia, controlling for baseline resource utilization. Additionally, we analyzed the trajectory of resource activation and investigated predictors of interindividual differences in growth patterns, as well as phase-specific associations with post-therapy resource utilization.
methodsOne hundred and twenty family caregivers received 12 sessions of TEL-CBT. Caregivers and therapists rated resource activation after each session. Caregivers rated utilization of resources related to well-being, coping with daily hassles, and social support before and after therapy.
resultsMultiple linear regression analyses indicated that mean resource activation aggregated across therapy sessions, as reported by caregivers but not therapists, was significantly associated with post-therapy resource utilization after adjusting for baseline levels. Using piecewise latent growth curve models, we found that caregiver-rated resource activation at the beginning of therapy was significantly associated with post-therapy resource utilization related to well-being and social support. Pre-therapy utilization of social support resources was negatively associated with caregiver-rated resource activation in the final therapy phase, and utilization of well-being resources before therapy was positively related to therapist-rated resource activation at the beginning of therapy.
conclusionThe findings are consistent with the interpretation of resource activation experienced by patients as a candidate mechanism of change. Early resource activation during therapy appears particularly relevant.
