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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the current status of caregiver burden among parents of children with asthma comorbidities and to identify its associated factors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from May to July 2025, involving 325 parents of children with asthma and comorbidities from two tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were collected through structured questionnaires. The Zarit caregiver burden interview (ZBI) and perceived social support scale (PSSS) were used to assess caregiver burden and social support levels, respectively. Statistical analyses included Pearson correlation, Results: The total caregiver burden score was 40.44 ± 6.86, with 61.8% of the parents experiencing a moderate level of burden. Perceived social support was negatively correlated with caregiver burden ( Conclusions: The caregiver burden among parents of children with asthma and comorbidities is substantial. Factors associated with higher burden levels include longer asthma course, greater number of comorbidities, longer comorbidity course, part-time employment status, and poor asthma control. Conversely, higher levels of perceived social support, older child age, and medical insurance and commercial insurance coverage were associated with lower burden levels. These findings provide an empirical basis for clinical institutions, communities, and relevant departments to inform the development of targeted interventions aimed at alleviating this caregiver burden. It should be noted that this study employed a cross-sectional design, and future longitudinal research is needed to verify causal relationships.
