Family Caregivers of People with Dementia Associate with Poor Health-Related Quality of Life: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07396298 (The Effects and Mediating Mechanism of the Existential Cognitive Intervention to Enhance Positive Aspect of Caregiving), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Despite the growing awareness of poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in family caregivers of people with dementia (PWD), their relationship has rarely been explored with population-based samples. The current cross-sectional study aimed to determine the detrimental impact of informal dementia caregiving on HRQoL by using nationally representative population-based samples from the Korean Community Health Survey. Demographics, socioeconomic, and physical and mental health-related characteristics as well as HRQoL measured by the Korean version of the European Quality of Life Questionnaire Five Dimension (EQ-5D) were compared between 9563 family caregivers of PWD and 186,165 noncaregivers. Caregivers had lower index scores and higher frequency of some/extreme problems in all five dimensions of the EQ-5D compared with noncaregivers. Logistic regression adjusting for potential confounding factors found that caregivers had a higher frequency of poor HRQoL (lowest quartile of EQ-5D index) than noncaregivers (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] = 1.46 [1.39-1.53]). Compared to noncaregivers, caregivers had a higher frequency of some/extreme problems in each dimension of the EQ-5D: mobility (1.30 [1.21-1.40]), self-care (1.62 [1.46-1.80]), usual activity (1.39 [1.29-1.51]), pain/discomfort (1.37 [1.31-1.45]), and anxiety/depression (1.51 [1.42-1.61]). A one-to-one propensity score matching analysis confirmed that poor HRQoL was more frequently found in caregivers compared to noncaregivers (1.38 [1.29-1.48]). Our results indicated that family caregivers of PWD are significantly associated with overall poor HRQoL, underscoring the detrimental impact of informal dementia caregiving on HRQoL. Given the high frequency of poor HRQoL in dementia caregivers and the important recognition of its serious consequences on physical and mental health, clinicians should take into consideration efficient interventions to improve health and HRQoL for family caregivers of PWD.
