Perceived stress, distress, burden, and caregiving preparedness in family caregivers of patients with hematologic malignancies during the first months of treatment.
Article in Journal of psychosocial oncology, 2026. 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
backgroundHematologic malignancies frequently require intensive treatment, leaving patients to rely on informal caregivers for emotional, logistical, and health care support. This high level of care and support can place an unintended burden on the caregiver. This study examined caregiver wellbeing during the initial treatment period.
methodsFamily caregivers identified by a patient with a hematologic malignancy were enrolled in this longitudinal, descriptive study. Participants answered questionnaires related to distress, stress, caregiver burden, and caregiver preparedness at baseline and six weeks later.
resultsA total of 24 caregivers participated in this study. Caregivers reported moderate to high levels of distress, stress, and caregiver burden across the study period.
conclusionFindings suggest that caregivers of patients with hematologic malignancies have high levels of distress and burden during the initial diagnosis and treatment period. Further research and supportive care interventions are warranted to assist the family during this difficult time.
