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

purposeSpousal caregivers can be critical to cancer care. They need support in building communication skills central to their role. We previously developed a Caregiver Clinical Communication Process Model (C

methodsWe developed a 12-item scale capturing C

resultsParticipants (n = 143) confirmed using each strategy identified in the model, and rated strategies as having moderate-to-high importance. They identified discussing questions with their spouse before appointments as one of the most difficult strategies. Communicating with insurance carriers or healthcare billing personnel to address financial coverage of care was reported as most challenging.

conclusionThis evidence supports the utility of the model and importance of these caregiver strategies in navigating clinical communication. The model highlights the importance of understanding caregivers' clinical communication as a multi-phase process and can be used to teach caregivers key communication skills they can enact before, during, after, and in between medical encounters to increase their cancer caregiving ability.
