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

backgroundCaregivers of children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at risk for psychological distress. Bright IDEAS

methodsEnglish- and Spanish-speaking caregivers of children aged 2-21 years were recruited within 10 days of their child's autologous or allogeneic HSCT. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive six-to-eight individualized BI sessions or usual care. Participants completed self-report measures of psychological distress at enrollment (pre-intervention) and on days 60, 90, and 180 post HSCT. Qualitative interviews were conducted among a subset (

resultsA total of 107 caregivers were screened for participation; 64 were eligible. Thirty-eight were enrolled (59.4%) and randomized. In the BI group, 14/20 participants (70%) completed six or more sessions. The completion rate for distress measures was at least 78% for both study groups across timepoints. Despite higher baseline scores, caregivers in the BI group reported lower anxiety and depression scores at follow-up timepoints compared to the control group, based on observed trends. Qualitative interviews reflected acceptability of BI.

conclusionsThe results support the feasibility and acceptability of BI for caregivers of children undergoing HSCT. A larger efficacy trial of BI in the pediatric HSCT setting is warranted.
