Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionFamily caregivers play a critical role in the rehabilitation and ongoing care of relatives diagnosed with mental illness. This involvement of families in the care of their relatives with mental illness not only improves patient outcomes but also encompasses the stress and burden experienced by family caregivers.
aimThis study aimed to explore and describe the perceptions of psychiatric mental health nurses regarding the needs of family members caring for people diagnosed with mental illness in Lobatse, Botswana.
methodsA qualitative explorative, descriptive, and contextual research design was used. Data were collected from 15 psychiatric mental health nurses using semi-structured in-depth interviews. The psychiatric mental health nurses were purposively sampled. The data were analysed using content data analysis. Comprehensive Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were followed.
resultsThe results yielded three themes: healthcare interventions, informational support, and tangible support needed by family caregivers of people living with mental illness. DISCUSSION: Family members caring for individuals diagnosed with mental illness need various support interventions to help them cope with the strain of caregiving and alleviate the impact of caregiver role strain. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: Mental health nursing care that recognizes the need for caregiver-oriented care practice is needed to promote a better quality of life and enhance caregivers' coping with caregiver role strain.
