Caregiver burden, treatment complexity, and the veterinarian-client relationship in owners of dog with skin disease.
Article in Veterinary dermatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundIncreasing complexity of treatment plans is associated with higher levels of caregiver burden in owners of dogs with skin disease. It is possible that elevated caregiver burden resulting from treatment complexity could, in turn, affect the veterinarian-client relationship. HYPOTHESES/
objectivesWe expected that treatment complexity, caregiver burden, and the client's perception of the veterinarian-client relationship would be related to each other. We also expected an indirect effect of caregiver burden on the cross-sectional association between treatment complexity and the veterinarian-client relationship, and that this effect would be robust to adjustment for the dog's skin disease course and severity.
participantsParticipants were 349 owners of dogs with skin disease recruited through online consumer panels. MATERIALS AND
methodsCross-sectional online assessments were completed for caregiver burden, treatment plan complexity, veterinarian-client relationship, and skin disease course and severity. Demographic information also was collected.
resultsThe indirect effect of caregiver burden on the relationship between treatment complexity and veterinarian-client relationship was statistically significant, accounting for 42.76% of the variance in the model. After controlling for disease severity and course, that effect remained statistically significant, accounting for 37.76% of the variance. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Findings support the notion that greater treatment complexity is related to the owner's perception of the veterinarian-client relationship via caregiver burden. Efforts to reduce caregiver burden by using the simplest effective treatment may benefit the veterinarian-client relationship.
