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

Background: This study investigated the level of preparedness of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia and explored hope as a mediator between anxiety and caregivers' preparedness. Methods: This correlational cross-sectional study included 375 caregivers of patients with schizophrenia. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire on preparedness, anxiety, and hope. Descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlations, and hierarchical linear regression modeling were performed to examine the associations between anxiety, hope, and caregivers' preparedness using SPSS 22.0. The PROCESS v3.3 macro was used to analyze the mediating effect of hope. Results: Caregivers' preparedness, anxiety, and hope scores were (20.79 ± 5.25), (10.38 ± 4.56), and (36.01 ± 5.25), respectively. Anxiety was negatively correlated with hope and caregivers' preparedness ( Conclusion: Anxiety among caregivers of patients with schizophrenia influences their preparedness and is mediated by hope. Enhancing hope among caregivers can reduce the impact of low preparedness caused by high anxiety.
