Informal caregiver burden and influencing factors in gynaecological oncology patients hospitalized for chemotherapy: a cross-sectional study.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo determine the level and influencing factors of informal caregiver burden in gynaecological oncology inpatients receiving chemotherapy.
methodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled gynaecological oncology patients and their informal caregivers between May 2018 and November 2018 and measured the caregivers' burden using the Caregiver Burden Inventory. The influencing factors were evaluated with univariate regression analysis and multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis.
resultsA total of 138 patients and their informal caregivers completed the questionnaire. The mean ± SD total informal caregiver burden score was 53.18 ± 10.97. The highest mean ± SD score was recorded in the dimension of time-dependent burden (14.28 ± 2.74), followed by developmental burden (13.65 ± 2.15), physical burden (10.52 ± 2.07), social burden (7.61 ± 2.58) and emotional burden (7.12 ± 1.43). Multivariate analysis showed that the informal caregiver's sex, relationship to the patient, daily duration of care, presence of chronic health problems and the duration of the patient's disease were factors influencing the level of caregiver burden.
conclusionsThe informal caregivers of gynaecological cancer patients hospitalized for chemotherapy experience a moderate level of burden. Nursing measures should be considered to reduce informal caregiver burden and improve the quality of lives of both patients and their caregivers.
