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
Introduction: Bipolar disorder is a long-term, complicated mental illness that affects not only the patient's mental health, but also their family's psychological health and coping strategies. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a compassion-based intervention program on coping patterns among family caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder. Methods: From June 2023 to March 2024, a study utilizing a one-group pre- and postinterventional design evaluated 50 family caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder. The study was conducted in an outpatient clinic at the Institute of Psychiatry affiliated with Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. The program consisted of 16 consecutive sessions, each lasting approximately 45 to 60 min. Researchers used a predesigned questionnaire to collect data pre- and postintervention to assess the sociodemographic data, self-compassion scale, and coping strategies inventory. Results: Prior to the compassion intervention program, the study found that 62% of the evaluated family caregivers had low self-compassion; however, after the compassion intervention program, a highly significant improvement was observed, with 54% having high self-compassion ( Conclusion: The Compassion-Based Intervention Program has a positive effect on enhancing coping patterns and self-compassion among family caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder. Therefore, psychiatric nurses and mental health practitioners should collaborate in designing holistic caregiver support strategies that incorporate self-compassion techniques alongside traditional therapeutic approaches.
