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

Purpose: This study investigated the role of spiritual well-being (SWB) in mediating or moderating the association between psychological resilience and quality of life (QoL) among family caregivers (FCs) of patients with terminal cancer. Methods: This cross-sectional study included FCs from nine hospice care units in South Korea between September 2021 and May 2023. Psychological resilience was assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (SWB) and the FACIT-Sp-12, and QoL was assessed using the Caregiver QoL Index-Cancer (CQOLC-K). A multivariate regression analysis was also performed. Results: The study included 164 FCs with a mean age of 53.6 years; Most were female (76.2%) and spouses (40.2%). Resilience showed a significant positive association with QoL and was related to lower burdensomeness and higher positive adaptation. Subgroup analyses based on the SWB levels revealed that the association between resilience and burdensomeness was significant only among FCs with low SWB, whereas the association with positive adaptation was significant among those with high SWB. Conclusion: Among the FCs of patients with terminal cancer, resilience reflects QoL, in which SWB may play an important role.
