Effects of Education on Care Burden and Quality of Life to Caregivers of Patients with COPD.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis research was carried out in a single group, pretest-post-test design in order to determine the effect of education on care burden and life quality of caregivers provided to caregivers of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who received healthcare at their home. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe population of the study was composed of 35 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease living in the city center and receiving home health care and the caregivers of these patients. Research data were obtained by using the Caregiver Information Form, Patient Information Form, Caregiver Burden Inventory, and World Health Organization Quality of Scale-Bref Quality of Life Scale. Caregivers' burden and quality of life were reevaluated once after every 1 month and 3 months following the education.
resultsIt was determined that caregivers were the spouses and children of the patients, the majority of them did not consider themselves sufficient in providing care; their care burden was high and their quality of life was low. In post-education follow-ups, a significant reduction in caregiver burden and a significant increase in quality of life were detected.
conclusionThe education prepared considering the learning needs was seen to be effective in reducing the care burden of caregivers of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in improving their quality of life.
