Older Adults With Cardiovascular Disease and Their Care Partners: An Analysis of Care Needs, Care Activities, and Care Partner Stress and Mental Health.

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
backgroundComparatively less research has been done on caregiving for persons with cardiovascular disease (CVD) than in other chronic conditions, leaving gaps in guidance for clinical care and interventions.
objectiveWe aimed to describe the care needs of older adults with CVD in the United States and identify determinants of stress and mental health in their care partners.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional analysis using the National Health and Aging Trends Study (n = 1011 persons with CVD) and the National Study of Caregiving (n = 510 CVD care partners). We compared differences in health and care needs of persons with and without CVD and described care partners' caregiving activities. Using multivariate regression, we examined determinants of care partner stress and anxiety/depression.
resultsPersons with CVD had higher comorbid burden, worse health, and more care needs than those without CVD. Most care partners helped with activities of daily living in addition to disease-related care. Worse stress was associated with worse care partner health ( β = 0.357; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.192-0.522), more care activities ( β = 0.388; CI, 0.070-0.705), greater care coordination ( β = 0.367; CI, 0.012-0.722), more medical/nursing tasks ( β = 0.489; CI, 0.145-0.834), and poorer relationship quality with the care recipient ( β = -0.269; CI, -0.365 to -0.173). Care partners were more likely to have anxiety/depression if their care recipient had poorer mental health (odds ratio [OR], 1.137; CI, 1.017-1.270), whereas better relationship quality and higher educational attainment appeared protective (OR, 0.837 [CI, 0.719-0.975], and OR, 0.170 [CI, 0.076-0.380], respectively).
conclusionsOur findings suggest a need for broader examination of caregiving burden in CVD, well beyond CVD-specific aspects.
