Medication discharge teaching in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: teaching characteristics, caregiver perceptions, and postdischarge adherence.
Article in Journal of psychosocial oncology research and practice. 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
Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an arduous but necessary treatment for many otherwise incurable diseases. It involves a complex medication regimen that is linked to significant clinical outcomes and must be learned by families before discharge. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore medication discharge teaching factors and to examine associations between those factors and caregiver self-perceived knowledge and efficacy. Methods: Nineteen video-recorded medication discharge teachings, conducted by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation pharmacists, were coded to identify elements of discharge teaching, including information presented, communication, and environmental factors. Caregivers also completed a semistructured interview and a short measure to assess caregiver efficacy regarding their child's medication regimen. Results: Pharmacists were consistent in their review of the names, dosages, and frequency of the medications being prescribed. However, there was variability regarding information provided about adherence, specific learnings (ie, how to read/fill syringe), and behavioral strategies to promote adherence (ie, adjust timing to fit family's schedule). Immediately and 1 week after the teaching, caregivers reported high levels of confidence regarding their ability to understand and manage their child's medication regimen. Conclusion: Teaching families about the prescribed medication regimen is a critical component of the discharge process. The current findings suggest that increasing the consistency with which information is provided to families regarding the effective management of the medication regimen could potentially be a method to facilitate adherence.
