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

purposeStroke family caregivers often struggle to provide care. The purpose of the current study was to determine: (a) ease or difficulty with caregiving tasks; (b) life changes because of providing care; and (c) relationship between caregiving tasks and life changes.

methodA descriptive correlational design was used. Telephone interviews were conducted with 74 stroke caregivers. Tasks were measured using the Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale; life changes with the Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale.

resultsThe most difficult tasks were managing survivor behaviors and the most negative life changes were lack of time for social activities. The easiest tasks were medical or nursing treatments, whereas the most positive life change was an improved relationship with the survivor. Tasks and life changes were different for each caregiver. Caregiver tasks and life changes were moderately correlated (

conclusionCaregiver tasks and life changes are important for designing strategies to support stroke caregivers. [
