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
backgroundFamilies of young and middle-aged lymphoma patients face significant burdens affecting their overall functioning and well-being. Caregivers play a critical role in managing these challenges, yet the factors that enhance their ability to support their families effectively, such as caregiver resourcefulness, remain inadequately understood.
aimsThis study aimed to explore the relationships between caregiver resourcefulness and family functioning, focusing on the mediating roles of family coping and perceived social support.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the oncology units of two tertiary hospitals in China from May to November 2022. Data were collected on caregiver resourcefulness, family coping, perceived social support, and family functioning, and were analyzed using parallel mediation techniques.
resultsThe study included 211 caregivers. Those with higher levels of resourcefulness demonstrated better family functioning. Mediation analysis revealed that family coping and perceived social support partially mediated these relationships (β = - 0.132, 95% CI [-0.208, - 0.063]; β = - 0.123, 95% CI [-0.200, - 0.054], respectively). Both factors jointly mediated the relationships between resourcefulness and the communication and general functioning dimensions. However, neither significantly mediated the relationship between resourcefulness and behavioral control.
conclusionsFamily coping and perceived social support act as partial parallel mediators in the relationship between caregiver resourcefulness and family functioning. Caregivers who exhibit higher resourcefulness, stronger family coping, and greater perceived social support experience enhanced family functioning, particularly in communication and general functioning domains. These findings highlight the importance of contextual factors, indicating that interventions designed to boost caregiver resourcefulness while promoting effective family coping and support systems are essential for improving outcomes for families navigating the challenges of lymphoma.
