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
Background: Caregivers, particularly family members, play a vital role in the treatment and recovery of burn patients, yet their psychological burden and care competency are often overlooked. Despite their crucial role, there is limited research examining their knowledge, attitudes, and practices in burn care management. Objective: This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and burdens experienced by family members in managing the health of patients with severe burn injuries. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Zhejiang Province, from November 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024. Data were collected using a self-administered KAP questionnaire and Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale 12-item Short Form. Results: The study enrolled 459 valid participants, of which 253 (55.12%) were female. Median scores [25th percentile, 75th percentile] for knowledge, attitude, practice, and caregiver burden were 12 [9, 14], 17 [16, 19], 33 [31, 37], and 16 [10, 23], respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that higher caregiver knowledge was associated with improved attitudes ( Conclusion: The study demonstrates that while family members generally hold positive attitudes and are proactive in the care management of patients with severe burn injuries, their knowledge levels remain suboptimal, and they experience a mild to moderate caregiver burden. Structured caregiver education programs focusing on long-term burn complications and psychological support should be implemented to enhance care quality and reduce caregiver burden.
