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
backgroundThis study investigates the relationships between family burden, perceived social support, quality of life and happiness among mothers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).
aimsThis study aimed to examine the relationship between family burden and maternal happiness, and to investigate the serial mediating roles of perceived social support and family quality of life in mothers of children with IDDs.
methodThe study sample comprised 250 mothers of children with IDDs. Data were collected using validated instruments: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, a family burden scale, the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses and structural equation modelling were conducted with software SPSS 26.0 and JASP 0.16.4.
resultsPerceived social support and family quality of life were positively associated with happiness and negatively associated with caregiving burden; structural equation modelling indicated that their sequential mediation fully explained the link between family burden and happiness.
conclusionsThe findings underscore the critical role of social support and family quality of life in mitigating the negative impact of caregiving burden on maternal happiness.
