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
Patients with heart failure (HF) and their caregivers are a dyad inextricably linked that exert influence on patients' quality of life (QoL). PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore factors affecting HF patients' QoL. Factors were: (a) HF patients' characteristics, (b) anxiety/depression of the dyad (patient-caregiver) and (c) caregivers' QoL. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 340 patients and 340 caregivers. Data collection was performed by the method of an interview using "The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale", HADS) to assess anxiety and depression (patient-caregiver) as well as the "Minnesota Living with Heart Failure" and the "SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36)" to assess QoL (patient-caregiver, respectively).
resultsFrom the 340 dyads who comprised the sample, 81.3% and 77.5% of patients experienced anxiety and depression, respectively, while 79.3% and 62.2% of caregivers experienced anxiety and depression, respectively. A statistically significant difference between patients and caregivers was only detected for depression (
conclusionsEvaluating the impact of HF on patients' QoL and anxiety/depression along with their caregivers permits acknowledgment of this dyadic relationship.
