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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the level of financial toxicity (FT) among caregivers of patients with advanced cancer, identify key influencing factors, and examine whether benefit finding (BF) mediates the relationship between family resilience (FR) and FT.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2024 to June 2025 in four public hospitals in Henan province, central China. A total of 286 informal caregivers of patients with advanced cancer completed the General Information Questionnaire, the Financial Toxicity Scale for Cancer Family Caregivers, the Family Resilience Questionnaire, and the Benefit Finding Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0.
resultsThe mean FT score among caregivers was 57.3 ± 11.6. Multiple linear regression analysis identified several significant factors of FT, including household disposable savings, tumor metastasis, caregiving alone, place of residence, relationship to the patient, FR, and BF (all P < 0.05). BF partially mediated the association between FR and FT, accounting for 28.4% of the total effect.
conclusionPrimary caregivers of patients with advanced cancer experience substantial FT. Targeted interventions should prioritize caregivers at higher risk-those with limited savings, caring for patients with distant metastasis, providing care alone, living in rural areas, or being the patient's spouse. Beyond demographic and clinical factors, both FR and BF serve as protective resources, offering new insights for designing strategies to alleviate FT among cancer caregivers.
