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: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and perceived stress among nursing home caregivers in China and to examine the associated factors. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,341 caregivers in nursing homes across Henan Province, China. Standardized instruments were applied, including the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and multivariable logistic regression were performed to identify independent predictors of psychological distress. Results: The prevalence of depression and anxiety was 34.8 and 10.8%, respectively, while 49.6% of caregivers reported moderate-to-high levels of stress. Significant predictors included city region, type of nursing home, educational level, monthly income, working hours, night shifts, presence of chronic diseases, attention to mental health, and participation in psychological training. Higher education and moderate income were protective factors, whereas employment in rural private nursing homes, low engagement in mental health practices, and the presence of chronic diseases increased risks. Longer working hours and more frequent night shifts were unexpectedly associated with lower stress levels. Conclusion: Depression and stress represent the major psychological concerns among nursing home caregivers in China. Targeted interventions should prioritize routine mental health screening, workplace-based psychological support, and policy measures aimed at improving working conditions and access to training, thereby safeguarding caregiver well-being and supporting the sustainability of long-term care services.
