Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Family caregivers are the principal caregivers of patients with tracheostomy and can reduce the risk of re-hospitalization through giving quality care to their patients. Caregiving to patients with tracheostomy is a complex process influenced by many different factors. However, there are inadequate data about these factors, and hence, this study aimed at exploring the factors influencing long-term home care for patients with tracheostomy from the perspectives of their family caregivers. Materials and Methods: We conducted this descriptive qualitative study in 2023-2024. Participants were nine family caregivers, one patient with a tracheostomy history of three years, a home care nurse, and an anesthesiologist purposefully selected from Mazandaran, Iran. Data were collected through 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews and were analyzed through conventional content analysis. The criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba were used to ensure trustworthiness. Results: The three main categories of the factors influencing long-term home care for patients with tracheostomy were healthcare system dysfunction, challenges of tracheostomy care, and effective management of tracheostomy care. These three categories had 13 subcategories. Conclusions: Careful attention to the special needs of patients with tracheostomy, close collaboration among healthcare professionals and family caregivers, and development of a strong support network are essential to reduce the challenges and complications of home-based caregiving to patients with tracheostomy.
