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

backgroundCaring for relatives is often associated with psychological and physical stress. Caregiving relatives usually slip into the role unprepared and they lack both the knowledge and skills to fulfil the associated tasks.

objectiveThis study tried to measure whether participation in a special educational program affects the trust in one's own ability to care, the quality of life and the stress perception of caring relatives. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 58 caring relatives were recruited to participate in the interventional study with a pre-post design. The intervention involves an 8‑month educational program, which was especially developed. The group was asked to answer validated questionnaires (ASKU, EQ-5D and HPS) at three time points (T1, T2, T3).

resultsThe results showed a significant influence of the educational program on self-efficacy (p = 0.0012) of the participants between T1 and T3. With respect to the subjective quality of life and the perception of stress no significant effects were shown.

conclusionThe results showed that the participation of family carers in the educational program has a different influence on the defined parameters. Not only the stable quality of life but also the short-term significant reduction in subjective stress perception directly after the training (T2) can be emphasized as positive indicators for the program.
