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: This cross-sectional study examined the association between intergenerational support (IGS) and caregiver burden (CB) among Chinese family caregivers of stroke survivors with persistent disabilities and explored potentially modifiable factors associated with CB. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey of 683 stroke survivors (≥6 months post-discharge) and their primary family caregivers, we assessed sociodemographic and caregiving characteristics, functional disability (Katz ADL), intergenerational support (adapted IGSS), caregiver burden (CBI), and caregiver self-efficacy (GSES). Multiple linear regression was used to examine factors independently associated with caregiver burden. Results: The mean caregiver burden score was 44.72 ± 17.57. Higher burden was associated with patient dementia (B = 6.316, Conclusion: Family caregivers of stroke survivors with disabilities in China experience substantial caregiver burden. Patient dementia, greater disability severity, only-child status, and higher education of the involved adult child were associated with higher burden, whereas higher child income, stronger intergenerational support, and greater caregiver self-efficacy were associated with lower burden. These findings suggest that family-centered support, caregiver self-efficacy enhancement, and services for high-risk families may serve as hypotheses for future intervention development.
