Cancer caregivers at the end-of-life: How much me vs. how much we?
Article in PEC innovation, 2023. 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
objectiveThis study explored cancer caregivers' individual and communal coping through their use of personal and communal pronouns during naturally occurring conversations.
methodsNurse-home hospice visits involving cancer patients and their partner caregivers were audio recorded and then transcribed. Pronoun use was analyzed using Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC) software and descriptive statistics compared patient and partner caregivers' pronoun use. Personal and communal pronoun use was examined within six identified topics of caregiver speech: patient medical care, daily life, emotion, criticism/disagreement, relationships with family/friends, and asserting needs.

conclusionPartner caregivers may find it easier to express emotions related to communal stressors, rather than their individual ability to cope with end-of-life caregiving. INNOVATION: Examining personal and communal pronoun use by partner caregivers during nurse-home hospice visits may provide a more objective measure of caregiver coping than standard self-report measures.
