1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThe dependence of stroke survivors on family caregivers negatively affects the quality of life, resilience, and adaptation of these caregivers. This study was conducted to identify the effect of education on the quality of life, resilience, and adaptation of family caregivers of stroke survivors based on Roy's adaptation model (RAM). STUDY DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY: This randomized clinical trial, conducted in 2023, enrolled 104 family caregivers of stroke survivors. Participants were chosen using the available method and then assigned to either the intervention or control groups through the random block method. In the intervention group, participants received four education sessions and telephone follow-ups. Tools, including a demographic information form, the Roy's Adaptation Model Assessment Form (RAM-AF), the Adult Carers Quality of Life Questionnaire (AC-QOL), and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (CD-RISC), were used. The final evaluation was performed two months after the intervention.

findingsMost participants in both groups were female (56.1%), married (59.2%), and had a son or daughter relationship with the patient (73.5%). The average age of the participants was 40.61 ± 10.77 years. The scores for quality of life, resilience, and adaptation did not exhibit significant differences between the intervention and control groups before the intervention (P > 0.05). However, a significant difference emerged after the intervention (P < 0.001).

conclusionThe results indicate that education based on RAM can enhance the adaptive response of family caregivers of stroke survivors and improve their physical, mental, and social health. (IRCT20230208057360N2 and date: 2023-06-21).
