Family and healthcare staff's perception of delirium.
Review in European geriatric medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeTo review the available literature regarding delirium experiences of family caregivers and healthcare staff, to discuss how caregivers and staff perception can increase delirium detection and to summarize how to address the needs of family caregivers and healthcare providers in delirium care.
methods"State of the science" paper.
resultsHigh levels of caregiver stress are associated with delirium, although sources and features of burden differ according to background health status of patients, i.e. older subjects, with or without dementia, or terminal neoplastic disease. Family observation of cognitive changes is key for delirium detection, especially when dementia coexists, and is included in available delirium detection instruments. Healthcare staff experiences a high level of burden associated with delirium care, but often does not recognize delirium according to literature. An interprofessional healthcare staff education can improve attitudes towards delirium and increase delirium awareness, although intervention studies are still limited. Flexible visiting time is important to reduce family burden, although it needs appropriate staff training and work organization to avoid the risk of increased nurse burn-out.
conclusionDelirium is a stressful event not only for patients but also for family caregivers and healthcare staff, especially nurses. Recording the observations of family members and healthcare staff can help in delirium detection. Staff education is crucial to reduce the burden of professional and family caregivers.
