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

purpose of reviewTo summarize articles describing how to personalize care for heart failure (HF) informal caregivers on the basis of the literature review results. We also describe informal caregivers' preferences and wishes regarding personalized care. RECENT

findingsRecent interventions to support informal caregivers were delivered face-to-face or online in group or individual sessions. The sessions embraced various elements, including coaching on setting personalized goals and developing problem-solving strategies. The interventions improved a range of variables, such as caregiver burden, quality of life, depression, stress and anxiety. Informal caregivers described personalized care as being in a partnership, clear communication and coordination of care. Several intervention studies reported positive caregiver effects; however, they were small, and sometimes, the interventions were only briefly described. A deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the experiences and needs of informal caregivers is essential before new tailored interventions can be developed.
