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

The stress burden generated from family caregiving makes caregivers particularly prone to developing psychosocial health issues; however, with early diagnosis and intervention, disease progression and long-term disability can be prevented. We developed an automatic speech analytics program (ASAP) for the detection of psychosocial health issues based on clients' speech. One hundred Cantonese-speaking family caregivers were recruited with the results suggesting that the ASAP can identify family caregivers with low or high stress burden levels with an accuracy rate of 72%. The findings indicate that digital health technology can be used to assist in the psychosocial health assessment. While the conventional method requires rigorous assessments by specialists with multiple rounds of questioning, the ASAP can provide a cost-effective and immediate initial assessment to identify high levels of stress among family caregivers so they can be referred to social workers and healthcare professionals for further assessments and treatments.
