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
Introduction: Resilience is a key psychological resource for managing the emotional and physical demands associated with caring for people with dementia. It promotes psychological stability and protects caregiver health. However, evidence on structured interventions specifically designed to strengthen resilience in this population remains scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a group-based intervention to enhance resilience in dementia caregivers, primary outcome, and to determine whether effects persisted three months post-intervention. Caregiver burden, coping strategies, and social support were examined as secondary outcomes. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a single-group pre-test/post-test design was conducted with data collected at three time points: baseline (T1), post-intervention (T2), and three months post-intervention (T3). Sociodemographic characteristics were recorded, and resilience was measured using the CD-RISC 10. Caregiving burden was assessed with the Zarit Burden Interview, coping strategies with the CSQ Questionnaire, and perceived social support with the MOS Social Support Survey. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for multiple comparisons (T1-T2-T3). Results: A significant increase in resilience was observed at post-intervention (T1-T2; p = 0.036), maintained at three-month follow-up (T1-T3; p = 0.040). Significant differences were found in caregiver burden (Zarit) between T2-T3 (p = 0.033), and in coping strategies: problem-solving (T2-T3, p = 0.032; T1-T3, p = 0.021), open emotional expression (T1-T2, p = 0.011; T1-T3, p = 0.041), and use of religion (T1-T2, p = 0.026). No significant changes were found in perceived social support. Conclusions: The intervention effectively enhanced resilience, improved adaptive coping strategies, and reduced caregiver burden. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to promote such interventions to support the well-being of dementia caregivers.
