Experiences and challenges of family caregivers of people with lower limb amputation: a qualitative study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore the experiences of family caregivers transitioning to their roles of caregivers for people with dysvascular major lower limb amputation, identify the challenges they face, understand their specific needs during this transition, examine their experiences during the hospital-to-home transition, and gather insights into strategies that promote empowerment in caregiving.
methodThis exploratory, cross-sectional descriptive study employed a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with 40 family caregivers of individuals with dysvascular major lower limb amputation. Data were analyzed using ATLAS.ti software and Bardin's content analysis method.
resultsContent analysis identified five categories: 1) family caregiver role, 2) amputee needs/difficulties, 3) family caregiver needs/difficulties, 4) home transition, and 5) strategies to promote family caregiver empowerment, highlighting critical aspects of the caregiving experience and identifying areas for intervention.
conclusionThe findings emphasize the need for family-centered empowerment programs combining hospital-based training with community support. Future research should evaluate their impact on reducing caregiver burden and improving outcomes for both caregivers and amputees.
