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
objectiveThe current study investigated the role of perceived social support in the relationship between stress, depression, anxiety, and caregiving burden on caregivers of cancer patients. The research was conducted in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. In this sense, the situation in a region that is not often subject to research is reflected in the literature.
methodsIn the current study, data from 93 caregivers were examined. 61.6% of the participants are women and the mean age of the participants is 40.82. Sociodemographic Information Form, Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale were used as measurement tools.
resultsCaregivers' depression and anxiety levels were found to be normal, and their stress levels were found to be mild. Caregiving burden, depression, anxiety, stress, and perceived social support were found to be interrelated variables. Six models of the role of perceived social support were tested. The analysis results showed that perceived social support had a mediating role, but not a moderating role, in the relationships between stress and caregiving burden, depression and anxiety.
conclusionThis finding, which is not frequently encountered in the related literature, was discussed with the related literature and suggestions for future studies were presented in the light of the findings.
