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
purposeHematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a physically and psychosocially complex process for patients and their families, and nurses play a key role in coordinating patient care. This study aimed to explore nurses' perspectives on caregiver engagement in the care of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
methodsA qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling was used. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eleven nurses working in a bone marrow transplantation unit in Ankara. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
resultsFive main themes and ten sub-themes were identified. The main themes were 1) Nurses' expectations and caregiver involvement, 2) Impact of caregiver's engagement, 3) Caregiver strain and challenges, 4) Support needs of caregivers, and 5) Nurses' role in supporting caregivers.
conclusionsNurses perceived that caregiver engagement positively improves patient outcomes but also noted that this placed a significant burden on caregivers. Nurses play a pivotal role in addressing the challenges and supporting caregivers through emotional support, education, and advocacy. Targeted interventions, such as education, psychological support, and enhanced communication, are crucial for supporting caregivers effectively and improving the well-being of both caregivers and patients.
