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
Background: Caregivers of individuals with dementia often assume substantial responsibilities and are vulnerable to mental health conditions such as depression, which may undermine both family resilience and overall family functioning. Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between depressive symptoms and family resilience among dementia caregivers, and to explore the potential mediating role of family functioning. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 514 community-based caregivers of individuals with dementia. Participants completed the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), and the General Functioning subscale of the Family Assessment Device (FAD-GF). Partial correlation analyses were used to assess the associations among key variables, and the bootstrap method was employed to evaluate the mediating effect of family functioning. Results: The mean family resilience score among caregivers was 99.78 ± 16.09. Family resilience was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms ( Conclusion: Family functioning mediates the impact of depression on family resilience. Interventions aimed at improving family functioning may help strengthen family resilience in caregivers of individuals with dementia.
