1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aimed to explore influencing factors for respite services among family caregivers in disabled elderly individuals, and develop a nomogram model to rank these factors. 356 family caregivers of disabled elderly individuals were collected and divided into a training set (n=249) and a validation set (n=107) in a 7:3 ratio. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors, and a nomogram model was constructed in the training set. The predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess the clinical utility. In the training set, 131 (52.61%) family caregivers showed a demand for respite services, while 56 (52.34%) patients showed a demand for respite services in the validation set. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that caregiver age, household income, caregiving duration, caregiving frequency, self-care ability, and community support were independent influencing factors for respite services (all P<0.05). The nomogram model demonstrated good calibration and predictive performance in both training and validation sets, with C-index values of 0.883 and 0.823, respectively. The areas under ROC curve (AUC) were 0.859 (95%CI:0.805-0.912) and 0.894 (95%CI:0.820-0.969), with sensitivity and specificity values of 0.943, 0.783 and 0.907, 0.871, respectively. This study identified key influencing factors for respite services in family caregivers of disabled elderly individuals. The predictive model exhibited strong predictive performance and clinical applicability, aiding relevant authorities in accurately identifying caregivers in need.
