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
backgroundDysphagia in a family member may negatively influence caregivers and may disrupt their quality of life. Thus, it is crucial to understand caregiver perspectives as an integral component of holistic dysphagia treatment. Hence, the present study aimed to cross-culturally adapt, translate, and pre-test the Caregiver's Analysis of Reported Experiences with Swallowing Disorders (CARES) into the Kannada language, a structural screening tool for assessing caregiver burden associated with dysphagia.
methodsThe Kannada version of the CARES screening tool was cross-culturally adapted using the ISPOR Principles of Good Practice for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and was pre-tested on 48 dysphagia caregivers of adult dysphagia cancer survivors. The internal consistency of each item was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
resultsThe results revealed that the Kannada version of the CARES screening tool had good internal consistency for each subscale, Part A-Checklist of Behavioral and Functional Changes", and Part B-Measures of Subjective Caregiver Stress, with α = 0.763 and α = 0.852, respectively. The item-total correlation of each item of the subscale was greater than 0.8, indicating that each item of the tool significantly contributed to the tool.
conclusionsThe Kannada CARES was found to have good internal consistency. Hence, it can be considered a linguistically equivalent tool for identifying caregiver burdens associated with dysphagia care.
