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/
objectivesFamily caregivers of people with schizophrenia experience substantial psychological and practical demands associated with long-term caregiving. This study examined whether participation in a web-based digital psychoeducation program was associated with longitudinal changes in coping mechanisms among family caregivers of people with schizophrenia.
methodsA non-randomized quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group study was conducted at a mental health hospital in Indonesia. The final analytic sample comprised 202 family caregivers of people with schizophrenia, with 101 participants in the intervention group and 101 in the control group. The intervention comprised 10 structured web-based psychoeducation modules delivered over 10 weeks. Coping was assessed using the Brief COPE Inventory and summarized into problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidance coping domains. Linear mixed-effects models were used as the primary adjusted longitudinal analysis, with study group, time, group-by-time interaction, age group, and marital status included as fixed effects. Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney U tests were retained as complementary unadjusted analyses, while baseline-adjusted linear regression models were used as sensitivity analyses.
resultsSignificant group-by-time interactions were observed for problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping. The adjusted between-group difference in change was 0.450 points (95% CI: 0.357-0.544; partial ηp
conclusionsParticipation in the 10-week web-based digital psychoeducation program was associated with greater longitudinal improvements in problem-focused and emotion-focused coping, but not avoidance coping. Given the non-randomized design and baseline differences between groups, these findings should be interpreted as adjusted longitudinal associations rather than definitive evidence of causal efficacy. The program may therefore represent an accessible complementary approach to supporting caregiver adaptation in long-term schizophrenia care.
