Needs of Family Caregivers of Older Adults with Trauma Admitted to the Emergency Department: A Cross-Sectional Study.
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 (FCs) play a vital role in supporting the care of older adults with trauma admitted to the emergency departments (EDs). However, their needs are often unmet and overlooked by healthcare providers. This study aimed to assess the needs of FCs of older adults with trauma admitted to the EDs in Iran. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 at Shahid-Beheshti Hospital in Kashan, Iran, involving 402 FCs of older adult trauma patients. Participants were recruited through consecutive sampling. Data were collected using the Questionnaire for the Assessment of the Needs of Caregivers of Patients with Trauma in the Emergency Department (QANCPT). Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were performed using. Results: The mean (SD) age of FCs was 44.80 (12.90) years, and 52.98% were female. Among patients, 45.02% were female, and falls were the most common cause of their injury (50.25%). The mean (SD) overall needs score was 2.47 (0.32) out of 4. In regression analysis, caregiver needs were associated with their own education level and gender, as well as patient-related factors, including age, number of children, length of ED stay, and cause and location of injury. Conclusions: FCs of older trauma patients reported substantial unmet needs in the ED. Acknowledging and addressing these needs is essential for healthcare providers in the ED. Doing so can significantly improve both the patient care process and recovery outcomes.
