Factors Associated With Caregiving Appraisal by Caregivers of Patients With Heart Failure - A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Circulation reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Caregiver support is essential for patients with heart failure to receive continued care at home. Methods and Results: This cross-sectional study of 60 heart failure patients and their primary caregivers (consent rate 62.5%) examined the relationship between the caregivers' assessment of caregiving using the Caregiver Reaction Assessment Japanese version and the patients' and caregivers' sociodemographic factors, the patients' physical condition, the caregiving activities, and health-related quality of life assessed using Short Form-8. The results indicated that Short Form-8 scores were inversely associated with positive appraisal of caregiving (β=-0.33; P=0.01). The impact on the schedule of daily living was associated with caregivers' mental health (β=-0.28; P=0.04) and the frequency of practical support related to medical treatment (β=0.25; P=0.05). There were associations between the following: impact on health (2.3±0.9) and caregiver employment (β=-0.27; P=0.03); lack of family support (2.2±0.8) and hours of care per day (β=0.25; P=0.05); and impact on finances (2.3±1.2) and functional health literacy (β=0.25; P=0.05). Conclusions: Evaluating caregiving appraisal and related factors among caregivers of patients with heart failure may lead to effective support for caregivers.
