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

backgroundCare partners are essential supports to individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Both negative and positive outcomes associated with the caregiving role have been reported. Psychological resilience may be an important factor influencing the MS caregiving experience, but an MS-specific model of care partner resilience has yet to be established. This study sought to explore an explicit model of MS care partner resilience.

methodsCross-sectional data from 471 Canadian MS care partners were collected via an online survey. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to test measures within a hypothesized model of resilience. Resilience was measured using the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.

resultsFollowing CFA, the hypothesized model was simplified due to the poor fit of several variables. The final model yielded a moderate SEM fit (χ

conclusionsOur findings indicate that spiritual health is an important predictor of coping and should be further explored in MS care partners. Quality of life may act as a precursor to resilience within MS care partners. Further research and exploration into MS care partner resilience is warranted to confirm this exploratory model.
