Harnessing mobile health technology to support long-term chronic illness management: exploring family caregiver support needs in the outpatient setting.
Article in JAMIA open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06991673 (Adolescent Surgery Roadmap Feasibility and Acceptability Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
objectiveFamily caregiving is an important public health issue, particularly with the aging population. In recent years, mobile health (mHealth) technology has emerged as a potential low-cost, scalable platform to address caregiver support needs, and thereby alleviate the burden on caregivers. This study sought to examine the support needs of family caregivers in their lived experiences of outpatient care to inform the development of a future mHealth intervention. MATERAILS AND
methodsWe conducted 20 semi-structured interviews in 2 outpatient hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) clinics at a large academic medical center in the Midwestern United States. A thematic analysis was performed to define emerging themes.
resultsQualitative data analysis identified 5 primary themes that HCT caregivers faced: (I) lifestyle restrictions due to the patient's immunocompromised state; (II) Unmet needs due to limitations in the current resources, including unfamiliar medical tasks without necessary trainings; and (III) caregivers' adaptive strategies, including reformation of social relationships with family and friends. Based on these findings, we suggest 3 design considerations to guide the development of a future mHealth intervention.
conclusionsThe findings herein captured the family caregiver's lived experiences during outpatient care. There was broad agreement that caregiving was challenging and stressful. Thus, effective and scalable interventions to support caregivers are needed. This study provided data to guide the content and design of a future mHealth intervention in the outpatient setting.
