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
Background: Family caregivers (FCs) need to provide regular assistance and good quality care to patients to prevent the deterioration of chronic heart failure (CHF); therefore, they may have physical and mental distress. However, physical and mental distress in FCs of patients with CHF in Japan is unclear. Objective: This study aimed to clarify the quality of life (QoL), anxiety/depression, and associated factors in patients with CHF and their FCs. Design: We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey using a questionnaire between 2016 and 2017 among patients with CHF and their FCs. Demographic data were extracted from medical records. Health-related QoL and anxiety/depression were assessed using the Short Form-12 and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales, respectively. Results: Of 286 patients and FCs (response rate 57.2%), the physical component summary and mental component summary (MCS) scores of FC were higher than those of patients ( Conclusions: It is necessary to carefully monitor the physical and mental condition of patients with CHF and provide palliative care in collaboration with the palliative care team as needed. Stabilizing the patient's physical and mental condition through palliative care may also help alleviate the suffering of FC.
