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

Caregivers of persons with mental illness experience stressors and anxiety during the psychiatric hospitalization of a family member. The implementation of a family-centered model could reduce these feelings, and therefore, such a model was developed in Israel. To examine whether the model's implementation makes a difference in the stress and anxiety experienced by caregivers, a comparative study was conducted in two psychiatric hospitals. Questionnaires were delivered twice to caregivers in an intervention group (n = 93) and a control group (n = 75). The anxiety level was lower in the intervention group than in the control group in the second delivery of the questionnaire. In addition, a lower level of anxiety was found in the intervention group in the second delivery of the questionnaire in comparison to the first. The findings, which can be attributed to the model's application, highlight the need for a paradigm shift to a family-centered model in psychiatric hospitals.
