Article in Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesTo investigate how next of kin of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) experience various life areas in terms of caregiving, participation, and quality of life, and the impact of personal characteristics of next of kin and SCI characteristics.
designSurvey of next of kin linked to data on persons with SCI in the Norwegian SCI Registry.
participantsA total of 73 next of kin identified by persons with SCI.
methodsOutcome measures were caregiving (4 measures), participation (1 measure), and quality of life (2 measures).
resultsParticipants (73% partners, 73% female, mean age 56.4 years) gave various support to the person with SCI and considered it important to care and were happy to do so. Three-quarters of participants reported good mental health and life satisfaction, while one-quarter reported high levels of caregiver strain, especially related to emotional adjustments. Higher levels of caregiver strain were reported by participants of working age (< 67 years), and by those with middle level education.
conclusionThe majority of next of kin of persons living with SCI in Norway are doing well in most life areas. Caregiver strain may be reduced by strengthening the ability of next of kin to cope with emotional challenges.
