Rapid Review of Family Caregiver Engagement in Hospice and End-of-Life Patient Care: Implications for Nursing Practice.
Review in Journal of hospice and palliative nursing : JHPN : the official journal of the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association, 2025. 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
This rapid review provides an overview of active family engagement (defined as supporting the patient psychologically, physically, spiritually, or emotionally) in hospice and end-of-life care settings across the lifespan. A librarian-assisted search of the CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) database over the past 5 years (English language only) yielded 1928 articles; 22 of these articles met the inclusion criteria for data extraction. The reviewed literature emphasized the importance of family engagement in hospice and end-of-life care, highlighting the need for effective communication, emotional support, and tailored interventions that nurses may use to support family caregivers. The literature highlighted opportunities to further educate and train palliative and hospice nurses on evidence-based and replicable approaches to supporting families as they deliver care at the end of life.
