Empowering Support for Family Members of Brain Injury Patients in the Acute Phase of Hospital Care: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of family nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This review aimed to identify and synthesize empowering support for the family members of patients in the acute phase of traumatic brain injury hospital treatment. CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Medic databases were searched from 2010 to 2021. Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. Each article was critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisals Tools. Following a thematic analysis, four main themes were identified about the process of empowering traumatic brain injury patients' family members in the acute phases of hospital care: (a) needs-based informational, (b) participatory, (c) competent and interprofessional, and (d) community support. This review of findings may be utilized in future studies focusing on designing, implementing, and evaluating an empowerment support model for the traumatic brain injury patient's family members in the acute care hospitalization to strengthen the current knowledge and develop nursing practices.
