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
Introduction: Stroke not only affects stroke survivors but also places considerable demands on family caregivers. Inadequate preparedness to provide care may contribute to caregiver burden and challenges during the transition from hospital to home. Objective: This study is aimed at assessing caregiver preparedness and identify factors associated with preparedness among family caregivers of stroke survivors during the transition from hospital to home. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 132 family caregivers of stroke survivors in two hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS), and the 12-item Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI-12). Normality was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Nonparametric analyses and multiple linear regression were performed. Results: More than half of the caregivers (57.6%) reported low preparedness, whereas 51.5% experienced high caregiver burden. The median PCS score was 16.0 (IQR = 12), and the median caregiver burden score was 21.0 (IQR = 15). Preparedness was positively associated with stroke onset duration ( Conclusion: Family caregivers of stroke survivors frequently experience low preparedness and high caregiver burden during the transition from hospital to home. Early assessment of caregiver preparedness and burden may facilitate targeted interventions to support caregivers during the post-stroke transition period.
