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
objectivesCaring for children with solid tumors (STs) can impact caregiver's physical and mental health. Caregiver mastery, which influences psychological well-being, is vital in improving outcomes for both caregivers and children. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between caregiver mastery, anxiety, depression, fear of disease progression (FoP), caregiver burden, and the quality of life (QOL) of children with ST.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2022 to April 2023 at a Grade A tertiary hospital in Shandong. Family caregivers of children with ST completed several validated measures, including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Cancer Module, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-parent version (FoP-Q-SF/PR), the Zarit Burden Interview Scale (ZBI), the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and the Caregiver Mastery Scale. Multiple linear regression analyses assessed the relationships between FoP, caregiver burden, anxiety, depression, caregiver mastery, and children's QOL. Results were expressed as
resultsA total of 454 caregivers participated. Caregiver mastery was positively correlated with children's QOL ( SIGNIFICANCE OF
resultsThe study underscores the importance of fostering caregiver mastery to mitigate the negative impact of caregiver distress on children's QOL and improve outcomes for both caregivers and children with solid tumors.
conclusionCaregiver mastery moderates the effects of anxiety, depression, FoP, and caregiver burdenon children's QOL. Supporting caregiver mastery can alleviate caregiver burden and enhance both caregiver and child well-being.
