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

purpose of reviewThe aims of this study were to identify and systematically evaluate studies published from 2005-2017 that took a dyadic approach to assessing or intervening upon hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients and their informal caregivers. RECENT

findingsOur search yielded 20 studies. Regarding sample demographic characteristics, most participants were Caucasian and most caregivers were related to the patient by marriage. Regarding design characteristics, 18 studies were quantitative and two were qualitative; five were cross-sectional, ten were longitudinal, one was experimental, and four were interventional. Most outcomes were psychosocial and the interventions were largely psycho-educational in nature. Large variation in quality of the studies emerged (six were rated as low quality, seven as adequate, and seven as high quality). Understudied populations include racial/ethnic minorities and same-sex couples. More work is needed to understand functioning during survivorship and impacts on patient medical outcomes, and to truly leverage the dyad to optimize individual- and relationship-level adjustment.
