1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to examine perceived barriers and facilitators to caregiver inclusion in the hospital care of older adult family members or friends through the perspectives of (1) hospitalized older adults, (2) caregivers of a hospitalized older adult, (3) healthcare clinicians, and (4) policymakers.

methodsThis qualitative descriptive exploratory study utilized semi-structured interviews with

resultsEight codes arose that were categorized into four domains guided by the Social Ecological Model. Individual-level factors were determined both for the caregiver and for the clinician. Relationship-level factors were revealed pertaining to communication style and method. Hospital-level factors included hospital environment and resources. Societal-level factors included healthcare climate and policies. DISCUSSION: Findings indicated that hospital workflows and policies inadequately support family caregivers. This study highlights potential solutions to caregivers' integration into hospital workflows.
