Caregiver activation of relatives of patients with advanced cancer.
Article in European journal of cancer care, 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
objectiveRelatives of patients with advanced cancer often have many caring responsibilities. Not everyone may have sufficient knowledge, skills, and confidence-also known as caregiver activation-to provide such care. We assessed caregiver activation in relatives and its association with their personal characteristics and their own well-being.
methodsA cross-sectional study among relatives of patients with advanced cancer. Measures included caregiver activation (C-PAM), resilience, personal self-care, caregiver burden, depressive symptoms, quality of life, and social well-being. The C-PAM distinguishes four levels of activation, ranging from poor (level 1) to adequate (level 4). Bivariate and multivariable regression analyses were performed.
resultsTwo hundred fifty-four relatives were included; 32% had level 1 activation, 30% level 2, 27% level 3 and 11% level 4. Higher levels of caregiver activation were found among partners, those who provided more hours of informal care, were more resilient, and scored higher on personal self-care. Higher caregiver activation was associated with lower caregiver burden, less depressive symptoms, and better social well-being.
conclusionIn our study, the majority of relatives seem insufficiently prepared to provide care for their loved one. Supporting them in gaining knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide such care may improve their own well-being.
