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
In the wake of trauma, individuals often experience not only psychological distress but also a profound disruption in their sense of self, meaning, and existence. This paper explores trauma-informed caregiving through an existential lens, emphasizing the need to address both the emotional and philosophical dimensions of trauma. While traditional trauma-informed approaches prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment, an existential perspective expands this foundation by acknowledging humans' struggle with freedom, isolation, meaninglessness, and mortality. Utilizing an existential conceptual framework that incorporates trauma-informed care to improve person-centered practices is particularly applicable to caregiving with older adults. Encouraging caregivers to cultivate authentic presence, foster autonomy, and support the individual's capacity to reframe their current life experience. By incorporating psychological insight with existential depth, this approach promotes the reawakening of purpose, agency, and connection while understanding the impact that trauma has in the caregiving process for both the caregiver and the person needing care. Case studies, practical strategies, and emerging research are discussed to support the implementation of this compassionate and holistic caregiving paradigm.
