Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAlthough the Stress-Coping Model (SCM) has been widely used to explain the coping process of individuals facing stressful situations, its applicability to caregivers of elderly people with dementia (PwD) in China needs to be further investigated. Furthermore, the role of external resources in caregivers stress coping is not yet clear. Therefore, our study aimed to investigated the mediating and moderating mechanisms between family burden and psychological distress in PwD caregivers based on the SCM.
methodsA cross-sectional study, with 193 pairs of PwD and caregivers completed the self-designed questionnaire, Family Burden Scale of Disease, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Simplified Coping Style Question, The Family Adaptation and Cohesion Evaluation Scales II-CV and Social Support Rating Scale. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analyzed the mediating and moderating effects.
resultsFamily burden positively correlated with psychological distress; the chain mediation effects of self-efficacy and positive coping between family burden and psychological distress was significant; the interaction term (family function_positive coping) did not but (social support_positive coping) had a significant positive impact on psychological distress.
conclusionsThe findings provides a practical basis for the use of SCM in informal caregivers of elderly PwD, assists understanding the mechanism of the relationship between family burden and psychological distress. And it supplies new perspectives for reducing the negative psychological health status and a theoretical basis for designing interventions for caregivers.
