Correlates of preparedness for caregiving of poststroke patients: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Given that stroke is a sudden, traumatic medical crisis and a chronic condition, identifying factors associated with caregiver preparedness is particularly important for poststroke caregivers. Therefore, we carry out this study to identify correlates of preparedness for caregiving for poststroke patients. To examine correlates of preparedness for caregiving in poststroke patients. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. We searched six English databases and three Chinese databases for studies published from the establishment of the database to May 2023. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality scale. Statistical software R studio was used for statistical analysis. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Caregivers for poststroke patients reported relatively low-to-moderate level of caregiver preparedness. Our meta results showed that demographics characteristics of both poststroke patients and caregiver, stroke-related variables and psychological variables were associated with caregiver preparedness. And subgroup analysis stroke type contributes to heterogeneity in caregiver gender, age and relationship, caregiver type contributes to heterogeneity in caregiver experience. Conclusion: The level of caregiver preparedness ranges from low to moderate and is influenced by multiple factors. The findings may inform tailored strategies for enhancing preparedness in stroke caregivers. Systematic review registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42021249641.
