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

objectiveTo analyze the concept of "Adaptation of the patient and his family caregiver" during the hospital-home transition".

methodThe Walker and Avant method was followed. This included a scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) parameters conducted in the Dimensions and Eureka metasearch engines and the PubMed, Embase, Scielo, CINAHL, and ScienceDirect databases.

resultsOf 6073 articles, 85 met inclusion criteria. The transition from hospital to home of the patient and his/her family caregiver after discharge from the hospital requires them to take on care tasks for which they are not always prepared. Adapting to this transition involves understanding it, coping with it; having support; anticipating risks; transferring instructions; adhering to therapy; and monitoring and recording the health condition.

conclusionThe adaptation of the patient and his/her family caregiver during the hospital-home transition is a comprehensive response to the responsibility of caring for his/her health. Adapting means being able to reestablish routines, maintain or improve quality of life, strengthen autonomy and have a sense of achievement and control over the situation.
