Severe Sleep Disturbances in Persons With Dementia With REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Family Caregivers: A Mixed Methods Study.
Article in Research in gerontological nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeCoexisting dementia and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) can negatively impact persons with dementia (PWD) and their family caregivers. Little research has investigated the relationship of sleep disturbance (i.e., RBD) in PWD-caregiver dyads who live together. Thus, we aimed to examine the impact of RBD symptoms on sleep quality of PWD and their family caregivers and describe sleep interrelationships.
methodThis mixed methods study analyzed qualitative and quantitative data (wearable devices, semi-structured interviews, sleep diaries, and sleep quality surveys). Two dyads' sleep parameters and sleep experiences are reported.
resultsFindings demonstrated that RBD symptoms in PWD affected sleep quality negatively (frequent awakening during the night and shortened deep sleep).
conclusionCurrent findings highlight the importance of RBD assessment and management for PWD, as it could help improve caregivers' and PWDs' sleep quality and well-being. [
