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
backgroundFamily members are currently the main caregivers of the disabled elderly people at home. With declining health and increasing frailty, caregiving of disabled elderly people becomes a task of family caregivers in conjunction with community nurses. Interaction between family caregivers and community nurses can effectively improve the quality of home care for the disabled elderly people. This study aimed to investigate the interaction experiences between family caregivers and community nurses for disabled elderly people at home.
methodsThis research was a study of qualitative descriptions based on semi-structured face-to-face interviews. This study was to purposefully select family caregivers of the disabled elderly and community nurses in Zhengzhou city, Henan Province and explore the interaction patterns between them. Directed content analysis method was used to generate qualitative codes and identify themes.
resultsA total of 12 interviews were completed, including 7 family caregivers and 5 community nurses. Four themes were identified: 1) Information interaction; 2) Emotional interaction; 3) Practical interaction; 4) Factors that promote and hinder the interaction.
conclusionsIt was found that the interaction between family caregivers and community nurses was not optimistic. Lack of communication and collaboration between community nurses and caregivers. Providing a new perspective that we can develop and implement intervention to facilitate positive interactions, which will reduce the burden of family caregivers, bring the highest quality of care to older adults with disabilities and improve the quality of care for disabled elderly people.
