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
The decision to place a loved one with dementia in a specialized facility is often associated with significant psychological distress among family caregivers, which often manifests itself in feelings of guilt, helplessness, and emotional tension. We conducted a pilot implementation of a seven-session psychoeducational group program designed to support family caregivers during the critical transition from home care to nursing home placement. The intervention included weekly modules addressing fundamental topics such as how nursing homes operate, managing behavioral disorders, end-of-life considerations, and sources of stress for caregivers. Among the 12 initial participants enrolled in the program, we present three illustrative cases that reflect distinct impact trajectories depending on caregiver profiles. Two caregivers showed substantial psychological and relational improvement, characterized by greater acceptance of institutional placement and enhanced coping strategies. In contrast, the third case highlighted the program's limitations in addressing more complex emotional and relational dynamics. These results suggest that, while psychoeducational intervention can facilitate emotional adaptation and promote reevaluation of the relationship between the caregiver and the care recipient, its effectiveness may be limited in cases requiring individualized psychological support. Adapting the intervention to include more flexible and personalized components, such as optional individual or family consultations, could enhance its relevance and effectiveness in meeting the diverse needs of caregivers.
