The effect of an educational palliative care intervention on the quality of life of patients with incurable cancer and their caregivers.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe study aims to determine the effect of educational intervention provided to caregivers of hospitalized patients with terminal cancer theoretically, practically, and visually on their own and patients' quality of life.
methodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted at a palliative care unit in Turkey between January and June 2019. The study included 35 hospitalized patients with cancer and 35 caregivers. Caregivers were provided with educational intervention three times a week apart. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Friedman test, and iterative analysis of variance.
resultsAfter the educational intervention, there was an increase in cancer patients' emotional function sub-scale and global health and decrease in their fatigue and nausea-vomiting symptoms (p<0.05). The mean scores of caregivers from role difficulty, pain, vitality, social function, emotional, and mental health sub-scales were high (positively) (p<0.001).
conclusionsEducational intervention has a positive effect on caregiver burden and recovery in some quality of life sub-scales of both patients and caregivers.
