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
Purpose: This study aims to identify caregiving burden, depression, quality of life, and institutionalization among family caregivers of home-based long-term-care insurance beneficiaries and to analyze various factors influencing these outcomes. Methods: A secondary data analysis was employed to investigate the impact of various factors on caregivers' experiences. The study used data from the 2016 Long-Term Care Service Utilization and Care Needs Survey, targeting 1,767 family caregivers of long-term-care beneficiaries. The original survey data included the Zarit Burden Interview for caregiver burden, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for depression, and the new five-level version of EQ-5D for quality of life. Institutionalization status was identified using the long-term care database until the end of November 2023. Results: A high caregiving burden was reported by 44% of caregivers and 47.6% of family caregivers were found to be depressed. The average quality of life score was 0.82±0.14, with differences observed based on the participants' characteristics. Among the study participants, 29.4% of the care recipients were institutionalized. Compared to caregiving burden, depression, and quality of life, the health status of the beneficiaries and their long-term-care service utilization patterns were significant factors influencing institutionalization. Conclusion: To reduce family caregivers' burden and to decrease institutionalization rates, it is crucial to enhance home-care services and offer a variety of community-based resources. Effective welfare policies should be established to support these efforts.
