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
Objective: Caregivers play an important role in the recovery of young people experiencing early psychosis, though they often experience high distress and have limited access to support for their own wellbeing and mental health needs. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) such as Altitudes offer scalable and flexible support through the provision of psychoeducation, therapy content, and opportunities for social connection in a secure online platform. The objective of this study was to explore caregivers' subjective experiences using Altitudes, a digital mental health intervention designed to support the wellbeing of caregivers of young people experiencing early psychosis. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 caregivers who participated in a 6-month open trial of Altitudes in the United States. A reflexive thematic analysis was used to examine perceived benefits, challenges, and recommendations for improvement. Results: Four themes were identified: (1) Conclusions: Participants viewed Altitudes as a caregiver-focused resource that reduced isolation and stigma, and improved access to credible psychosis-specific information and therapy strategies. Embedding human-supported DMHIs within coordinated specialty care may strengthen continuity of care and improve outcomes for both caregivers and young people early in the course of psychotic illness.
