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
purposeCaregivers of patients with brain tumors play an essential role in treatment and symptom relief; however, this responsibility often results in a substantial and prolonged burden, negatively impacting caregivers' health and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the mental health status of caregivers of patients with malignant brain tumors and identify factors influencing mental health outcomes.
methodsWe analyzed data from the National Survey on the Needs and Support of Brain Tumor Patients and Caregivers, conducted by the research group on the Needs and Support of Brain Tumor Patients and their Caregivers in 2023. The study protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Review Committee of the National Cancer Center (approval No.: 2022 - 430). A total of 115 caregivers (36 male and 79 female) participated in the study. Depression risk was assessed using the Distress and Impact Thermometer.
resultsFifty caregivers (43.4%) were classified into the suspected depression group. Factors significantly associated with an increased risk of depression after multivariate adjustment included "being tired of caring for others" and "being diagnosed with a brain tumor within 2 years."
conclusionCaregivers of patients with brain tumors face considerable mental health challenges, with a notable proportion at risk of depression. Targeted interventions, particularly for those recently assuming caregiving roles and experiencing fatigue, are essential for improving their mental health and overall quality of life.
