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

backgroundThe number of children requiring daily medical care is on the rise, with many being cared for at home. This situation places a significant burden on mothers, who often serve as the primary caregivers.

objectiveThis study aimed to clarify the factors that affect the quality of life of mothers with children who require home health care.

methodsA questionnaire study was conducted among mothers of children needing medical care at home, with 46 participants responding. The questionnaire included items regarding the child's condition, the mother's situation, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-26scale.

resultsFactors influencing the quality of life of mothers included whether the child attended daycare or school (β=.274; P=.04), the duration of home care (β=.305; P=.02), and the presence or absence of position changes (β=-.410; P=.003). The presence or absence of position changes had the most significant impact (adjusted R

conclusionsThe most significant factor affecting the quality of life of mothers of children requiring home medical care is the presence or absence of positional changes.
