Education, Training, and Mentorship of Caregivers of Canadians Experiencing a Life-Limiting Illness.
Article in Journal of palliative medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundResearch suggests that caregiver preparedness is essential to minimizing the negative impacts of caregiving. Not being prepared is associated with fear, anxiety, stress, and feelings of insufficiency/uncertainty specific to the caregiver role.
objectiveTo determine what resources are required to ensure adequate education, training, and mentorship for caregivers of Canadians experiencing a life-limiting illness.
designInformed by the Ispos Reid survey, the methods for this article involved a rapid literature review that addressed caregiver experiences, needs and issues as they related to health, quality of life, and well-being.
resultsGiven the burden of care, caregiver education, training, and mentorship are suggested to be best met through the palliative navigator model, wherein the patient-caregiver dyad is recognized as an integrated unit of care.
conclusionsThe palliative navigator approach is a key role in the education, training, and mentorship of caregivers.
