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
objectiveTo map and synthesize evidence related to the types and strategies of social support used by family caregivers of children and youth with special health care needs to ensure the continuity of home care.
methodThis scoping review was conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology guidelines for Evidence Synthesis and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Eight databases were used: Cochrane Library, Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, PsycINFO and LILACS, as well as additional sources and reference lists of the included studies.
resultsTwenty-two studies were included, presenting social support in two dimensions: informal and formal. The support strategies identified comprised groups of parents whose children share similar care needs, online parent forums, financial assistance, prayers, support from religious institutions, and temporary caregivers. Among the gaps that impact the continuity of home care are the lack of information about rights and benefits, as well as insufficient psychological support for family caregivers.
conclusionThe mapped studies showed how important a competent and structured social support network is in the lives of family caregivers, serving as an essential resource for the continuity of home care.
