Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Psychosocial Impacts on Sibling Donors of Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Studies.
Synthesis in Oncology nursing forum, 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
problem identificationHematopoietic stem cell transplantation has significant psychosocial impacts on pediatric sibling donors, including emotional distress, guilt, and anxiety. The aim of this qualitative review is to explore their experiences and the challenges they face. LITERATURE SEARCH: A systematic review of qualitative studies of sibling donors was conducted using JBI guidelines. A search of MEDLINE®, Scopus®, CINAHL®, PsycINFO®, and ProQuest identified nine qualitative studies involving 70 sibling donors. DATA EVALUATION: Studies were critically appraised using JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. Data were synthesized to understand psychosocial experiences of sibling donors. SYNTHESIS: The following four main themes emerged: (a) Sibling donors felt trapped and experienced mixed emotions about donating, (b) family life was significantly disrupted after the sibling's illness, (c) donors developed a sense of pride from being able to help their sibling, and (d) the donation process required better emotional support for the donors. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Pediatric healthcare professionals should offer specialized psychosocial support to sibling donors. Additional qualitative research is needed to assess the long-term psychosocial effects on these donors.
