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

Background: Family caregivers of individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) face significant challenges that can impact their well-being, coping abilities, and cognitive functioning. However, the empowerment of these caregivers often goes unnoticed, highlighting the need for supportive interventions. Purpose: To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a one-on-one intervention program for family caregivers of SUD patients using pre-test and post-test assessments. Methods: A pilot study was conducted using a randomized controlled trial design with 40 family caregivers of individuals with SUD. Through a lottery method, participants were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental groups, with each group consisting of 20 caregivers. The intervention program consisted of 12 one-on-one sessions. Pre-test and post-test assessments utilized the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale, Ways of Coping, revised by Lazarus and Folkman, the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and the Kingston Caregiver Stress Scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Significant differences were observed between the control and experimental groups in psychological well-being, cognitive functioning, coping, anxiety, and stress ( Conclusion: The findings support the effectiveness of the one-on-one intervention program in enhancing the well-being, coping skills, cognitive functioning, anxiety, and stress levels of family caregivers of individuals with SUD. This intervention program has the potential to empower caregivers and enable them to better cope with the challenges they face in providing care.
