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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCONFIDENCE is a culturally tailored intervention to reduce caregiver financial strain, which disproportionately impacts Latino family caregivers to persons living with dementia. CONFIDENCE demonstrated preliminary efficacy at lowering financial strain in a feasibility study, yet attendance in group videoconference sessions was low (62%). CONFIDENCE was revised to integrate the NeuViCareTM application (app) that leveraged an interactive artificial intelligence (AI) assistant and text message reminders to engage participants between sessions. This study examined whether app registration was associated with attendance, as well as overall utilization of app features. RESEARCH DESIGN AND

methodsCONFIDENCE was delivered in a community-based organization, where registration for the NeuViCareTM app was offered at no cost to complement the 4-week facilitated group-based intervention. Investigators tracked caregiver attendance in sessions, app registration, and uptake of app features. Bivariate statistics were used to assess the relationship between app registration and attendance.

resultsFifty-five (55) caregivers completed the CONFIDENCE intervention, among whom 50.9% (28) registered for the NeuViCareTM app. App users attended an average of 2.9 (72%) sessions, compared to 2.0 (50%) of non-users (p = .002). Interactive features of the app (e.g., messaging an AI digital assistant) were infrequently used by participants. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: Findings support further investigation into technology-enhanced psychoeducation for family caregivers of persons living with dementia to promote intervention adherence, particularly Latino caregivers who face greater caregiving burden and limited access to supportive resources despite higher dementia prevalence. These findings contribute to the emerging literature on technology adoption, including interactive AI, in service contexts.
