1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe quality of life of caregivers is a significant concern since their active participation is critical for the effective treatment of patients. The present study was conducted to assess the quality of life of caregivers of patients undergoing treatment for bipolar affective disorder and to identify the factors associated with their quality of life. MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective cross-sectional study of seven months duration was carried out among 64 subjects, satisfying the inclusion criteria. The socio-demographic details and other relevant information pertaining to the subjects were collected in a well-designed data collection form. The quality of life of the caregivers was assessed by using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire.

resultsAmong the 64 subjects enrolled in the present study, the mean scores of the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains were 55.84 ± 16.60, 49.89 ± 18.31, 57.84 ± 18.74, and 51.97 ± 17.26, respectively. Various socio-demographic factors were found to have a statistically significant association with all four domains of quality of life.

conclusionThe current research would offer healthcare professionals valuable insights into the importance of addressing the health-related quality of life for all caregivers of patients with BPAD.
