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
aimsThis study was designed as a descriptive and correlational study to assess the burden experienced by caregivers of palliative care patients with pressure injuries, to identify the factors influencing this burden and to examine the role of perceived social support.
methodsData were collected from 138 informal caregivers of palliative care patients with pressure injuries in a state hospital. The Burden Interview and the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses and hierarchical regression were conducted to identify factors associated with caregiver burden.
resultsCaregivers reported a high level of burden. Lower income status, difficulty experienced during caregiving and negative effects on family and social life were associated with greater burden. Higher perceived social support was associated with lower burden, indicating that social support plays a protective role for caregivers of patients with pressure injuries.
conclusionCaregivers of palliative care patients with pressure injuries experience substantial burden influenced by socioeconomic and caregiving-related factors. Increased perceived social support contributes to reducing this burden and should be considered an essential component of caregiver-focused interventions.
