Experiences of mutuality between Chinese lung cancer patients and family caregivers during chemotherapy: a qualitative study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
backgroundThis qualitative study aims to deeply understand the emotional experiences of mutuality relationships between lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and their caregivers, providing insights for developing cancer-related mutuality interventions.
methodsUsing a qualitative research method with semi-structured interviews, 15 pairs of patients and their caregivers from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Affiliated People's Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected as subjects. Data were qualitatively and inductively analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis method.
resultsFive themes and fourteen sub-themes were extracted from the experiences and interactions between patients and caregivers: reciprocity and mutual support (support provided by patients to caregivers, support provided by caregivers to patients), challenges (lack of communication, difficulty in adaptation, role changes, economic burdens), change and adaptation (living with the disease, social support), negative outcomes (increased burden on caregivers, disruption of social activities and family relationships), and intervention needs (need for disease knowledge, humanistic care, communication skills).
conclusionThe findings of this study provide healthcare professionals with information on the mutual support and challenges faced by chemotherapy patients and their caregivers in coping with cancer. This information aims to facilitate culturally-based psychological interventions, enhance mutuality, improve quality of life, and promote the entire family's adaptation to the disease.
