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
Anticipatory grief (AG) in family carers of people living with motor neurone disease (MND) is underexplored. Research has identified MND symptoms as significant predictors of AG in carers. This study investigated whether carer psychological inflexibility moderates the relationship between MND symptoms and carer AG, a crucial area for informing supportive interventions. Two moderation analyses with 75 carers (UK = 70, USA = 5) were conducted. The first analysis found that while MND disease severity (ALSFRS-R) and psychological inflexibility (AAQ-II) were associated with AG (MMCGI-SF), psychological inflexibility did not moderate this relationship. Similarly, the second analysis revealed that while behavioural changes (MiND-B) and psychological inflexibility influenced AG, the interaction between them was not significant. These findings suggest that although psychological inflexibility does not moderate the relationship between MND symptoms and carer AG, it may still impact carers' emotional distress, highlighting the need to address this in interventions. Clinical implications are discussed.
