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
backgroundStroke is considered one of the leading causes of both mortality and morbidity on a global scale. The significant impact on the health and quality of life of stroke survivors and their caregivers is well-acknowledged due to the stressful consequences of dependency and the need for home care. This study aims to examine the impact of online training utilizing a stroke educational program on the patient's quality of life and their caregivers' care burden. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom March to August 2024, a randomized, controlled trial was conducted. In this study, a total of 60 dyads consisting of stroke patients and their caregivers participated. Participants were selected by convenient sampling method and then randomly allocated into intervention and control groups using research randomizer software. The participants in the intervention group received the educational content through the WhatsApp application during a series of fifteen sessions, each lasting between 45 and 60 min. The control group was given standard hospital education. The data collection and analysis process entailed the utilization of questionnaires, which encompassed demographics, the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL), and the Zarit burden of care questionnaires.
resultsIn the intervention group, the average age of patients and caregivers was 60.23 ± 12.41 and 51.56 ± 10.42, respectively, while in the control group, it was 61.73 ± 12.61 and 53.60 ± 9.03, respectively. The intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the mean score of patient's quality of life, comparing the baseline with the post-intervention periods (134.73 ± 33.51 vs. 90.56 ± 6.51 and 130.46 ± 30.67 vs. 90.56 ± 6.51; p < 0.05). Furthermore, a statistically significant difference in the mean score of caregiver's care burden was noted between the baseline and post-intervention periods (80.23 ± 7.99 vs. 65.43 ± 16.52 and 80.23 ± 7.99 vs. 60.53 ± 21.34; p < 0.05).
conclusionThe implementation of an online training program focused on stroke education, resulted in an improvement in the quality of life for stroke patients, as well as a reduction in the care burden for their caregivers. As a result, it is essential to provide education to patients and their caregivers to improve patient care and minimize stroke complications.
