Biomarkers of stress in caregivers of children with special health care needs: A protocol for systematic review.
Article in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChildren with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) require greater attention from family caregivers as they present temporary or permanent physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional issues. This demand for care generates overload and stress among family caregivers. So far, there is no study that gathers the available literature regarding the use of biomarkers to assess stress among caregivers of CSHCN. Hence, we aimed to synthetize and to assess the scientific evidence on biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN.
methodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis protocol was elaborated following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). The search strategy will be undertaken through 7 electronic bibliographic databases: Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, and PsycINFO. In addition, secondary searches in other sources, such as Clinical trials.gov-NIH, The British Library, Pro Quest Dissertations Database, Google Scholar, and medRXiv will be also carried out. The reference section of the included studies will be hand searched for additional relevant studies. There will be no restriction regarding the publication dates or languages for this systematic review. Moreover, in an independently manner, 2 investigators will select studies, perform data extraction, as well as perform a critical appraisal of the risk of bias and overall quality of the selected studies, based on their designs. The heterogeneity among the studies will be assessed using the I2 statistic test. According to the results of this test, we will verify whether a meta-analysis is feasible. If feasibility is confirmed, a random-effect model analysis will be carried out. For data analysis, the calculation of the pooled effect estimates will consider a 95% CI and alpha will be set in 0.05 using the SPSS version 23.0.
resultsThis systematic review and meta-analysis will provide better insights regarding the biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN. Hence, consistent data and robust evidence will be provided to help practitioners and decision-makers in this area.
conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge this study, will be the first to synthetize and critically evaluate the scientific evidence on biomarkers associated with stress in caregivers of CSHCN.
