1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aimed to identify latent profiles of benefit finding (BF) among primary caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in China, examine factors associated with these profiles, and explore the association between BF profiles and caregiving burden. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 365 primary caregivers of patients with advanced cancer were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Hefei, China, using convenience sampling. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and disease-related information questionnaire, the revised Benefit Finding Scale, and the Caregiver Burden Scale for Cancer Patients. Descriptive statistics, latent profile analysis, and multivariate logistic regression were used for data analysis, and multiple linear regression was used to examine the association between BF profiles and caregiving burden. Results: Three latent profiles of BF were identified: "low benefit-lack of self-awareness" (51.2%), "moderate benefit-natural acceptance" (33.7%), and "high benefit-personal and family growth together" (15.1%). Caregivers' age, educational level, monthly per capita household income, caregiving experience, the presence of co-caregivers, and relationship to the patient were significantly associated with BF profile membership ( Conclusions: BF among primary caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in China is heterogeneous and can be categorized into three latent profiles. Caregivers in the "moderate benefit-natural acceptance" profile report lower caregiving burden. Health care providers may develop targeted interventions based on the characteristics and associated factors of different BF profiles to help alleviate caregiving burden.
