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: Stroke affects not only patients but also their caregivers. The level of readiness of caregivers to give care has a significant effect on the quality of life and recovery process of their patients. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the effects of caregiver readiness of individuals providing care for stroke patients on their caregiving burden and burnout. Methods: This study was conducted with 69 individuals who gave care to inpatients receiving stroke treatment in the Neurology Clinic of a hospital between April 2022 and January 2023. Data collection was carried out using the Patient and Caregiver Identification Form, Cheltenham Patient Classification Scale (CPCS), Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS), Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale (BCOS), and Burnout Measure (BM). In the comparisons of two independent groups, the Independent Samples t-test was used when numerical variables were normally distributed, and Mann Whitney U test was used when numerical variables were not normally distributed. In the comparisons of more than two independent groups, One-Way ANOVA was used when numerical variables were normally distributed, and Kruskal Wallis test was used when numerical variables were not normally distributed. Pearson Correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between the scores obtained from the scales. Results: The analysis of the distribution of stroke patients according to the Cheltenham Patient Classification Scale revealed that 44.9% of them were in the Type 2 care group. The mean scores they obtained from the data collection tools were as follows: PCS: 22.20±6.98, BCOS: 54.46±11.80, BM: 2.73±1.33. Conclusion: There was a moderately significant negative relationship between the caregivers' BM and PCS scores. Their BM scores decreased as their PCS scores increased. On the other hand, there was a moderately significant positive correlation between their PCS and BCOS scores. As their PCS scores increased, so did their BCOS scores.
