Financial Toxicity and Multidimensional Economic Strain Among Dementia Caregivers.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia. Behavior & socioeconomics of aging, 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
introductionFinancial toxicity is an underrecognized but significant burden among caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The interaction between economic hardship, caregiver burden, and social determinants of health (SDOH) remains poorly defined.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey of 79 ADRD caregivers recruited through the University of Kansas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Participants completed the COST measure, Zarit Burden, Resource Utilization in dementia questionnaire, and an SDOH assessment. The primary outcome was moderate-to-severe financial toxicity (COST ≤26).
resultsFinancial toxicity affected 50.6% of caregivers. After adjusting for caregiver age and household income, higher caregiver burden was associated with greater financial toxicity (OR = 1.12), while older age was associated with lower odds of financial toxicity (OR = 0.93), and low household income was associated with greater financial toxicity compared with high income households (OR = 7.63). DISCUSSION: Financial toxicity is common among ADRD caregivers and closely linked to burden and socioeconomic disadvantages, underscoring the need for policy and support interventions.
