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

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are disproportionately African American and many report receiving care from informal (unpaid) caregivers, typically friends and family, including emotional and physical support, financial assistance, and health advice. Informal caregiving can lead to increased stress levels, which, in turn, may cause physical and mental health problems in caregivers. This pilot proof-of-concept study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile application (app) designed to reduce caregiver stress. In this prospective mixed-methods study, African American informal caregivers for PLWHA were recruited from a community-based research center and provided with the app. In eight semi-structured interviews, preliminary feedback regarding app utility and recommendations for improvement was provided by caregivers. Subsequently, a feasibility trial was conducted in which caregiver participants (
