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

aimTo explore predictors of care burden among the caregivers of patients with COVID-19.

designThe findings of this cross-sectional study were presented in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology statement.

methodsThe samples included 172 caregivers in Imam Reza and Farabi Hospitals, located in Kermanshah, Iran, who were enrolled in the study using convenience sampling. A demographic information form and the Caregiver Burden Inventory were administered. The data were collected between 13 May 202 and 20 August 2021.

resultsOf the caregivers, 62.8% (n = 108) were male and 71.5% (n = 123) were over 40 years old. Furthermore, 66.3% (n = 114) of caregivers had severe and very severe care burden, with a mean care burden of 78.9 ± 20.4 out of 120. A statistically significant difference was found between care burden and the variables of monthly income, health status, number of patients under care and residence status (p < 0.05).

conclusionThe caregivers experienced a high care burden, which can have harmful effects on them. Therefore, it is necessary to provide them with various forms of economic, psychological and social support.
