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
Aim: Family caregivers play a crucial role in the care of critically ill obstetric patients, yet their burden often goes unrecognized and unsupported. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of family caregivers in healthcare, there remains a significant knowledge gap regarding the specific burden they face and the factors influencing it. This study aimed to analyze the current situation of family caregivers' burden for critically ill obstetric patients and identify the related influencing factors. Methods: This study was conducted in a hospital setting, employing a cross-sectional design. A total of 150 family caregivers of critically ill obstetric patients who received treatment between January 2023 and December 2024 were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI) to assess the burden of care and a self-designed general information questionnaire to gather demographic and relevant information. The primary outcome measure was the ZBI score, reflecting the level of burden experienced by family caregivers. Results: The mean ZBI score of the family caregivers was 45.15 ± 6.23 points, indicating a substantial burden of care. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that the length of stay for the patient in the hospital, as well as the age, education degree, family monthly income, social support level, and psychological resilience of family caregivers, were significantly associated with the burden of care ( Conclusion: This study highlights the considerable burden faced by family caregivers of critically ill obstetric patients and identifies several key factors influencing this burden. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to support family caregivers, particularly those with lower social support and psychological resilience, to alleviate their burden and improve their well-being.
