Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundChildren with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) frequently undergo rapid fluctuations in their health status, imposing significant strain on their caregivers. This study aimed to evaluate the social support available to primary caregivers of pediatric TBI patients, to provide actionable insights to improve clinical support systems.
methodsPrimary caregivers of pediatric TBI patients treated at our hospital from February 1, 2024, to August 31, 2024, were included in this study. The Social Support Rating Scale was utilized to assess the social support of these caregivers. Pearson correlation analysis and logistic regression were conducted to identify determinants significantly associated with the level of social support.
resultsTwo hundred forty-two primary caregivers of children with TBI were enrolled in this study. The mean social support score for these caregivers was 38.52 (± 9.29), suggesting a moderate level of social support. Correlations were identified between social support scores and several caregiver characteristics: age (r=-0.564), educational level (r = 0.602), place of residence (r = 0.542), and monthly per capita family income (r = 0.633). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR = 2.184, 95%CI: 1.904-3.022), educational level (OR = 2.462, 95%CI: 1.755-4.086), residence (OR = 2.189, 95%CI: 1.805-2.753), and monthly per capita family income (OR = 3.428, 95%CI: 2.402-4.216) significantly influenced the level of social support.
conclusionEnhancing the social support for primary caregivers of children with TBI is imperative. Clinical healthcare providers are advised to develop and implement targeted interventions aimed at the modifiable factors identified, in order to bolster the social support levels of these caregivers.
