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
Objective: To explore the elements and dilemmas of eHealth literacy among family caregivers of breast cancer patients, providing a reference for improving their caregiving abilities. Methods: From September to October 2023, a phenomenological research method was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 family caregivers of breast cancer patients in the Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery of a tertiary grade A hospital in Xi'an. Braun's thematic analysis method was used for data analysis. Results: Two themes and six sub-themes were extracted. (1) Element characteristics: information acquisition ability, information discrimination ability, and information application ability. (2) Information dilemmas: information overload and chaos, difficulty in judging the authenticity and reliability of information, and obstacles in information application. Conclusion: There are many problems in the eHealth literacy of family caregivers of breast cancer patients. Medical staff should have provided guidance on information acquisition, conducted training on information discrimination and application, addressed information overload and chaos, strengthened information supervision, improved the proficiency of using e-communication tools, and provided more professional guidance to enhance their eHealth literacy and reduce their information-related distress.
