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
backgroundThe rising prevalence of childhood bronchial asthma imposes a substantial economic burden and threatens the mental health of affected families, worldwide. Although multiple factors influence caregivers' psychological wellbeing, systematic investigations in this area are still lacking. Hence, this study aimed to explore the relationship between first-aid literacy, coping style, family functioning, and the mental health of caregivers of children with asthma.
methodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study included 337 children with asthma and their parents. Survey questions assessed demographic and disease related data and caregivers' first-aid literacy, coping style, family functioning, and the mental health using validated tools. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. The maximum likelihood method was used to fit and modify the relational model.
resultsFirst-aid literacy and coping styles were inversely correlated with caregivers' mental health, whereas family functioning was positively associated. Additionally, first-aid literacy was positively correlated with coping style and negatively correlated with family functioning (P < 0.01). First-aid literacy not only directly affected the caregivers' mental health (β = 0.334), but also indirectly impacted it through the mediation of coping style and family functioning (β = 0.453). Coping style and family functioning played important mediating roles in the relationship between first-aid literacy and caregivers' mental health.
conclusionFirst-aid literacy played an important role in improving caregivers' mental health. Therefore, healthcare professionals, particularly nurses who have frequent contact with caregivers, should pay attention to first-aid literacy and take effective measures to improve the mental well-being of caregivers' of children with asthma.
