Impact of fear of recurrence in patients with cancer on caregivers' psychological health: A meta-analysis.
Review in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: This study aims to quantitatively investigate the relationship between fear of cancer recurrence in patients with cancer and their caregivers' psychological health, examining the extent of the impact of this fear on caregivers. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases from inception until May 2023 for relevant English publications. Pearson correlation coefficients ( Results: A total of 19 eligible studies were included in the analysis. The findings revealed a moderate positive correlation between fear of recurrence in patients with cancer and caregivers' fear of recurrence and depression. A relatively weaker correlation was observed between patients' fear of recurrence and caregivers' anxiety. Due to considerable heterogeneity ( Conclusions: Our meta-analysis established a significant positive correlation between fear of recurrence in patients with cancer and negative psychological consequences among caregivers, including recurrence fear, depression, and anxiety. Future research should explore the evolution of adverse psychological outcomes in both patients with cancer and their caregivers over time and delve into the bivariate psychological impact within the patient-caregiver dyads.
