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.

2 · The registry

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

BackgroundFamily caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWD) often experience significant psychological, financial, and social stress, increasing their risk for both mental and physical health problems.ObjectiveThis study examined factors associated with caregivers' perceived pain in the context of dementia care.MethodsThis was cross-sectional study using baseline data from a dyadic clinical trial evaluating a behavioral sleep intervention for PLWD and their family caregivers. A total of 148 caregivers were included in the analytic sample. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and hierarchical linear regression were used to identify caregiver- and care recipient-related factors associated with caregiver pain.ResultsMost caregivers (84%) reported pain in the past week. In the final regression model, lower education, greater caregiver comorbidity, and poorer caregiver sleep quality independently predicted higher pain, explaining 30.6% of the variance and highlighting key caregiver health factors linked to pain.
