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
backgroundThis study was conducted to determine the relationship between caregiving burden and hospital anxiety and depression in relatives of elderly patients transferred from intensive care unit to the ward.
methodsThis is a descriptive and correlational study. Correlation between caregiving burden and hospital anxiety and depression was assessed by using the "Caregiving Burden Scale (CBS)" and the "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)".
resultsThe mean age of the participants (n = 107) was 47.67 ± 13.02 years. The mean CBS score of the participants was 20.19 ± 10.71. The participants' mean hospital anxiety score was 10.63 ± 4.33, and the mean depression score was 10.46 ± 3.25. The CBS scores of the participants who were women, had children, had difficulty in caregiving, and had patients in internal medicine clinics were found to be statistically significant. The anxiety scores of the participants whose patients were in internal medicine clinics and were semi-dependent were significantly higher. Also, the depression scores of the participants who had difficulty in caregiving were found to be significantly higher (p < 0.05). Positive and a very weak correlation was found between the CBS and anxiety sub-dimensions of HADS, and a similarly weak correlation was found between the CBS and depression sub-dimensions of HADS (r = 0.189, p = 0.006; r = 0.260, p < 0.001, respectively).
conclusionA positive correlation was found between the caregiving burden in relatives of patients and levels of hospital anxiety and depression.
