Neurocognitive disorders: what are the prioritized caregiver needs? A consensus obtained by the Delphi method.
Observational study in BMC health services research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe symptoms related to neurocognitive disorders (NCD) may lead to caregiver burden increase. Involving caregivers in research may be an effective way of improving the practicalities and relevance of interventions. The aim of this study was to gather opinion and gain consensus on the caregivers 'priorities, using a Delphi method and including aspects of needs in pharmaceutical dimension.
methodsObservational study using a modified Delphi method. This study was conducted in the Clinical and Research Memory Center of the University Hospital of Lyon (France), between September 2015 and January 2016. The expert panel was composed of 68 informal caregivers of people with subjective cognitive decline or NCD living at home.
resultsCaregivers assigned a very high importance to the dimension "information needs about their relative's disease", i.e. information on the disease, the treatment and the research; and to "coping skills", i.e. skills related to emotional support, communication, relationship evolution with the relative and skills to cope with behavioural crisis, behavioural and cognitive disorders. The aspect "coping with behavioural disorders" received a high selection rate (83%).
conclusionsThe main needs selected can be used to design relevant interventions and give guidance to policy to support caregivers. To meet caregiver's needs, interventions should focus on information about disease and treatment and psychoeducational interventions.
