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

objectivesto assess the burden of informal caregivers of older adults with post-COVID syndrome and analyze its association with variables regarding older adults and caregivers.

methodsa cross-sectional study conducted with 75 older adults with post-COVID syndrome and caregivers. Clinical, functional, cognitive, and psychological measures were used to assess older adults. Psychological and burden measures were used for caregivers using Zarit Burden Interview. Descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, and univariate and multiple linear regression were used.

resultsmost caregivers (67%) reported burden, with 16% experiencing high burden, 31% experiencing moderate, and 20% experiencing mild burden. In multivariate analysis, caregiver burden was associated with frailty (p=0.022), older adult depression (p=0.022), and caregiver depression (p<0.001). Variables explained 37% (p<0.001) of variance in the total Zarit Burden Interview score.

conclusionscaregiver burden for older adults with post-COVID syndrome was associated with factors about older adults and their caregivers, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary support.
