Chronic dermatoses affect not only sick individuals: a review of family and caregiver burden assessment tools.
Review in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2024. 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
Introduction: The focus in dermatology has shifted from solely treating skin conditions to considering the quality of life (QoL) of patients and their family members. Aim: To identify and categorise instruments that assess the impact of chronic skin diseases on the QoL of family members and caregivers. Methods: A narrative review was conducted using the Scopus and Medline databases, with search terms related to QoL, dermatology, and family/caregivers. Articles published up to January 2024 were reviewed, and relevant instruments were categorised. Results: The search yielded 2799 papers, of which 153 were reviewed in detail. Twenty instruments were identified and categorised into generic, dermatology-specific, and disease-specific tools. Conclusions: The review highlights the importance of assessing family QoL in dermatology. Integrating these tools into clinical practice can enhance support for family members, improving overall patient care. Further development and refinement of these tools are necessary to capture the full impact on family QoL.
