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
Purpose: To evaluate the association between an 8-week group Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program and changes in professional dementia caregiver burden, perceived stress, and patient neuropsychiatric symptoms. Methods: This retrospective multi-method study included 94 professional dementia caregivers at a psychiatric hospital in China (intervention: Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly greater reductions in caregiver burden (NPI-D: from 32.15 ± 8.53 to 19.90 ± 5.71) and perceived stress (PSS-10: from 23.83 ± 4.23 to 16.82 ± 3.94) compared to the control group from week 8 through week 20 (all Conclusion: The 8-week group MBCT program was associated with sustained reductions in caregiver burden and perceived stress, accompanied by improvements in patient neuropsychiatric symptoms among professional dementia caregivers. The group format provided additional perceived benefits through peer support and experience normalization. These findings support further investigation of group-based mindfulness interventions within professional dementia care settings using randomized controlled designs.
