A Holistic Insight into the Caregivers of Patients with Multiple Myeloma: Burden and Opportunities for Interventions - A Scoping Review.
Review in Indian journal of palliative care. 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
Multiple myeloma (MM) is considered a chronic blood cancer; myeloma patients often experience fatigue and bone pain. They may also have limited mobility, making them dependent on caregivers for everyday tasks. Patients seemed to be less involved in managing their conditions, relying on unpaid caregivers for emotional and practical assistance, while frequently ignoring their own needs. Arksey and O'Malley's framework was used for this review. This scoping review discusses the burdens of caregivers of patients with MM. Search strategies were used in PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Embase and Web of Science from published research articles from August 2013 to August 2024. The data were exported, and the duplicates were excluded. Title, abstract and full-text screening were carried out. The data analysis was done qualitatively and quantitatively. The review results revealed that the caregivers, whether family members or professionals, are essential in helping patients to receive long-term care. Because the MM is chronic, caregivers frequently face high levels of stress and unfulfilled needs. Caregivers of patients with MM face a variety of burdens in terms of physical and financial strain, emotional stress and psychological distress, lack of preparedness, lack of social support and social isolation. The results of the review can be used to create supportive care interventions that address the needs of caregivers of patients with MM, who experience a significant burden.
