1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Cancer caregiving is associated with elevated psychological burden, yet scalable interventions remain limited. This randomized controlled trial evaluated a therapist-guided, internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy program versus standardized information brochures in informal caregivers of patients with advanced cancer, with caregiver burden specified as the primary outcome and anxiety, depression, and caregiver self-efficacy as secondary outcomes. Methods: A parallel two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted among 200 informal caregivers, randomized to either the cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention ( Results: At week 8, caregiver burden decreased by -11.6 ± 6.2 in the internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy group versus -2.1 ± 5.9 in the control group ( Conclusion: In this randomized trial, internet-delivered CBT produced greater improvements than information brochures in caregiver burden (primary outcome) and in anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy over 8 weeks.
