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: Caregiver burden arises as a natural response to the stress associated with caregiving, encompassing a wide range of psychological, physical, social, and financial challenges. The aim of this study is to evaluate the extent of caregiver burden experienced by carers of cognitively impaired patients and the coping strategies employed by the caregivers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2019 and March 2020 in the memory clinic of the Department of Geriatric Medicine and 116 patients aged ≥60 years with cognitive complaints and their caregivers were recruited. Addenbrooke's cognitive examination III (ACE-III)-Hindi version was used to define subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and major neurocognitive disorder (MNCD). Caregiver stress was assessed using the Kingston caregiver stress scale (KCSS), and the coping behaviour assessment scale was used to identify caregiver coping strategies. Results: Among 116 patients, 46 (39.66%) had SCI, 20 (17.24%) had MCI, and 50 (43.10%) had MNCD. The caregivers' mean age was 47.82 ± 12.95, and 68 (58.62%) were male. Eighty-eight (75.86%) of them reported caregiver stress, and 85 (73.28%), 28 (24.14%), and 51 (43.97%) had caregiving, family, and financial issues. The presence of caregiver stress was significantly higher in MCND (RRR: 6.92, 95%CI, 2.32-20.64, Conclusion: Caregiver stress is common among patients with MCI and MNCD, comprising challenges in caregiving, family dynamics, and financial aspects.
