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
Evidence on the associations between patient's disability and caregiver burden among Chinese family caregivers of individual living with schizophrenia is lacking. This study aimed at explore the underlying mechanisms between patient's disability and caregiver burden among Chinese family caregivers of individual living with schizophrenia. A cross-sectional study was carried out in four Chinese cities (Wuhan, Changsha, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen), between April, 2021 and March, 2022. A total of 493 patients and their family caregivers were invited to report related data. The Zarit burden interview, WHODAS 2.0, the Potentially harmful behavior scale, the Affiliate Stigma Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of perceived social support were used to collect data. Linear regression analysis and bootstrapping analysis were conducted. The adjusted regression results showed that patients' disability (B = 0.616; 95% CI: 0.479-0.753), potentially harmful behavior on caregivers (B = 0.474; 95% CI: 0.232-0.716), and caregiver's low social support (B = -0.079; 95% CI: -0.158- -0.002), high level of affiliate stigma (B = 13.045; 95% CI: 10.227-15.864) were associated with higher level of caregiver burden (p < 0.05). In the mediation model, the direct path from patient's disability to caregiver burden (B = 0.428, β = 0.371, p < 0.001) was significant and positive. Patient's disability was indirectly associated with caregiver burden through patient's potentially harmful behavior, caregiver's affiliate stigma, and social support, the standardized regression coefficients ranged from 0.026-0.049 (p < 0.05). Patient's potentially harmful behavior, caregiver's affiliate stigma, and social support mediated the relationship between patients' disability and caregiver burden. Future intervention studies designed to target these three factors may be beneficial for family caregivers of persons living with schizophrenia.
