Reducing Distress in Caregivers of Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation With Remotely Accessible Interventions: An Integrative Review.
Review in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an intensive treatment requiring the support of a caregiver. This role is a highly demanding responsibility, and caregivers often face distress. In a world that has become highly technological, the aim of this integrative review is to determine the availability and impact of remote interventions in reducing distress in caregivers of HSCT patients. A literature review was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases. The search included articles published between January 1, 2013, and February 20, 2023. The search yielded 699 unique articles, of which four were included in the final review. The four included studies of the impact of remote interventions on distress or burden in caregivers of adult HSCT patients. Two organizing themes emerged: availability and impact. Availability encompassed intervention accessibility and delivery type while impact considered caregiver quality of life (QOL), mental health, and perceived usefulness. These themes were evaluated in the articles via a variety of validated assessment tools and structured interviews. Ultimately, this integrative review suggests that while remote interventions for caregivers of patients undergoing HSCT are relatively limited, initial studies are perceived as useful and are promising in their potential to improve caregiver QOL and mental health and reduce distress.
