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
aimsThe aim of this study is to determine the psychological resilience and self-efficacy levels of caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and to examine the effects of these variables on the caregiver burden.
designA cross-sectional, quantitative design was used.
methodsThe study was conducted in the neurology outpatient clinic of a university hospital between March and July 2022. The sample of the study consisted of caregivers of 105 individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Data were collected using the "Zarit Burden Interview," the "Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy," and the "Resilience Scale Short Form." In the study, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were employed, and the stepwise multiple regression model was applied.
resultsIt was determined that caregivers had a moderate to severe caregiving burden (43.57 ± 16.58) and a moderate level of psychological resilience (20.24 ± 5.96) and self-efficacy (62.84 ± 15.96). The stepwise regression analysis results showed that a lower mini mental state score (β = -0.821; p < 0.001), low caregiver income status (β = -0.201; p < 0.008), inadequate social support (β = -0.155; p < 0.030), shorter duration of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis (β = -0.323; p < 0.001), advanced age (β = -0.299; p < 0.001), and prolonged caregiving (β = -0.216; p < 0.005) were the main predictors of caregiver burden. In addition, the levels of caregiver's self-efficacy in obtaining respite (β = -0.340; p < 0.001), psychological resilience (β = -0.293; p < 0.001), and self-efficacy in controlling upsetting thoughts (β = -0.240; p < 0.001) about caregiving predicted caregiver burden significantly.
conclusionThe resilience and self-efficacy levels of caregivers predicted caregiver burden significantly. As the psychological resilience and self-efficacy levels of caregivers increase, caregiver burden may decrease significantly. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Interviews were conducted with the research participants to collect data. Our findings can be used to develop interventions and coping strategies to reduce the care burden of caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and to improve their resilience and self-efficacy.
