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
The "Caregiver Guilt Questionnaire" CGQ was originally developed in Spain and contains 22 self-report items covering the following factors: guilt about doing wrong by the care recipient, guilt about failing to meet the challenges of caregiving, guilt about self-care, guilt over feeling negative emotions while caregiving, and guilt about neglecting other relatives. Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the CGQ. Methods: The sample was established for convenience, consisting of 153 family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease. The following measures were applied: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the CGQ, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Life Satisfaction Scale. An exploratory factor analysis was performed for analyzing construct validity to obtain evidence of validity with internal structure and external correlation measures. Results: The exploratory factor analysis identified five factors with 22 items, which explained 71% of the total variance. Criterion validity was supported by positive associations between CGQ-BR scores and levels of depression, anxiety, and stress, and a negative association with life satisfaction. Good to excellent reliability indexes were found for the total score and subscales. Conclusion: The psychometric properties of the CGQ-BR, when applied to a sample of family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease in the Brazilian population, proved to be a valid tool for measuring feelings of guilt. The findings suggest that this tool can be used in clinical and research settings with caregivers.
