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 study aimed to assess the of anxiety and depression among family caregivers (FCs) of postoperative patients with cervical cancer, and explore associated factors. Methods: This single-center cross-sectional study enrolled 323 pairs of postoperative patients with cervical cancer and their caregivers. The assessments were conducted using a general information questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30). The associated factors were analyzed using binary logistic regression. The correlation between anxiety, depression, and quality of life was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The prevalence rate of anxiety among FCs was 29.1%, while the prevalence of depression was 21.1%. Solo caregiving (odds ratio [OR] = 2.196, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.230-3.919), high social support (OR = 0.248, 95% CI: 0.090-0.680), severe caregiving burden (OR = 3.916, 95% CI: 1.774-8.644), and short sleep duration (OR = 0.479, 95% CI: 0.259-0.885) were independently associated factors for anxiety in FCs. Meanwhile, Monthly income (OR = 0.420, 95% CI: 0.222-0.797), high social support (OR = 0.242, 95% CI: 0.083-0.708), and severe caregiving burden (OR = 4.280, 95% CI: 1.860-9.846) were independently associated factors for depression in FCs. The EORTC QLQ-C30 score was negatively correlated with the HADS-A (P < 0.001, r = -0.679) and HADS-D scores (P < 0.001, r = -0.546). Conclusion: Individuals who are sole caregivers, have an month income below ¥6,000, sleep less than 6 hours, experience low perceived social support, and bear a high caregiving burden are at a significantly higher risk of developing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Therefore, in clinical practice, particular attention should be directed toward the psychological well-being of FCs, and provide personalized psychological intervention measures.
