Government Recognition and Support for Family Caregivers: A Comparative Review of Policies in Northern and Southern Countries With a Focus on Oncology Caregivers.
Review in Cureus, 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
The recognition of informal caregivers by governments is gradually increasing. Currently, several countries, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, have officially acknowledged the role of caregivers and offer various forms of support. In contrast, in southern countries, data on informal caregivers, especially those caring for cancer patients, remain sparse. Furthermore, the acknowledgment and support for caregivers' roles are still lacking in many of these regions. Notably, existing policies in northern countries predominantly focus on caregivers for the elderly and disabled, with only a few initiatives directly supporting caregivers of cancer patients. This review aims to shed light on the measures some governments have taken to support caregivers and advocate for further actions and policies to enhance caregiver support. This review is grounded on a thorough examination of articles, governmental reports, and empirical studies related to family caregiver support.
