Preparedness, Uncertainty, and Distress Among Family Caregivers in the Care of Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Article in Oncology nursing forum, 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
objectivesTo determine the level of preparedness, uncertainty, and distress of family caregivers (FCs) of patients before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. SAMPLE &
settingThis study is a longitudinal cohort panel study involving 69 FCs of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS & VARIABLES: Data were collected during the first week of hospitalization (T0) and two weeks after discharge (T1) via FCs' demographic information, a clinical status form for patients, two scales, and a psychological distress instrument. IBM SPSS Statistics, version 16.0, was used for data analysis.
resultsThe mean preparedness among FCs decreased significantly at T1 compared to T0. In addition, the uncertainty experienced by FCs was significantly higher at T0 than at T1. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Assessing the readiness of FCs and providing them with psychological and supportive interventions before patients are discharged is crucial for ensuring better care of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Nurses must offer comprehensive information to FCs about patients' diagnosis, treatment, and care protocol to minimize uncertainty.
