Patient-caregiver dyads in pancreatic cancer: identification of patient and caregiver factors associated with caregiver well-being.
Observational study in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the psychosocial well-being in the pancreas cancer patient-caregiver dyad, and determine patient and caregiver characteristics that predict caregiver distress. This was a cross-sectional, observational study. Demographics and caregiving characteristics were gathered from patients and caregivers. Caregivers completed validated instruments investigating anxiety, depression, perceived stress and caregiver burden. Over a period of eleven months, 128 patient-caregiver dyads were enrolled. Patient and caregiver distress scores were not associated with patient clinical disease burden. Patient distress was a significant predictor of concurrent caregiver distress, anxiety, depression, and perceived burden. Younger caregivers were also associated with higher caregiver anxiety and perceived burden. Additionally, number of caregiving activities and caregiver overall health status were predictors of concurrent caregiver depression and perceived stress. Certain pancreatic cancer patient and caregiver variables may negatively impact the well-being of caregivers. Future efforts should focus on development and implementation of comprehensive caregiver support programs for those at risk for psychosocial distress.
