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
purposeConsidering the distress experienced by caregivers, numerous support systems have been devised. Recently, interventions focused on positive psychology have resulted in beneficial effects for caregivers. This study aimed to investigate the experience of caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease with an online positive psychology intervention.
methodsTo understand caregivers' experiences of an 8-week positive psychology intervention, 10 participants participated in a semistructured individual interview. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was carried out on the interviews.
resultsThree themes were identified. [1] Engaging half-heartedly: Positive psychology was initially perceived as an unknown and caregivers expressed their scepticism before gradually integrating the intervention into their daily routine. [2] Letting yourself be destabilized: Caregivers went through an uncomfortable phase, becoming aware of their overprotective or controlling behaviours and the consequences of their psychological distress. [3] A springboard to change: Several realizations resulted in changes, such as reactivating internal resources and cultivating a more balanced outlook with less focus on the illness of the care receiver and the caregiving situation.
conclusionsThe results show that caregivers were completely autonomous during the online intervention and engaged in the processes promoted by positive psychology, which supports further development of online resources for caregivers.
