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
Background: Taking care of pediatric patients with neurological conditions in prolonged hospital stays can affect caregivers' health due to the demands of caregiving beyond daily parenting. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the association between caregiver burden and well-being among caregivers of hospitalized Filipino children with neurological conditions, and the prevalence rate of caregiver burden, and assess the subjective perception of well-being of caregivers attending to these patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 95 primary caregivers of pediatric patients with neurological conditions admitted to the Pediatric Neurology ward of the Philippine General Hospital from December 2024 to January 2025. Eligible participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic and clinical information, the Modified Caregiver Strain Index-Filipino (MCSI-F) to assess caregiver burden, and the World Health Organization-Five Well-being Index (WHO-5) to assess subjective well-being. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and univariable logistic regression were used for data analysis at a 0.05 level of significance. Results: The mean age of participants was 35 years, with most being mothers (79%), female (87%), and unemployed (48%). The prevalence of caregiver burden was 59%, with 23% reporting severe strain. Impaired well-being was found in 92% of participants. Although caregivers with burden showed higher odds of impaired well-being (OR 4.91, 95% CI 0.93-25.76), the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.060). No caregiver or patient characteristic showed a significant relationship with burden or well-being. Conclusion: High prevalence rates of caregiver burden and impaired well-being, among caregivers of hospitalized Filipino children with neurologic conditions at a single tertiary center, were seen. Interventions such as periodic psychosocial and caring support and development of family-centered care plans may be considered to help decrease the burden of care in caregivers among this population.
