The unheard path: carer loneliness and epistemic injustice in critical and historical view.
Article in Humanities & social sciences communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article analyses a corpus of longitudinal interview evidence on the experiences of family carers in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic, and situates them in a longer historical, philosophical, and political discussion. Drawing on feminist epistemology, medical humanities, loneliness studies, and interdisciplinary scholarship on care, it rethinks carer loneliness and epistemic constraint as the mingled products of a series of overlapping abandonments, across short, medium, and long-term temporalities. Discussing loneliness, touch, solitude, shame, and social and cultural invisibility in the stories told by carers about their lives before and during COVID, it then pulls focus to a historical analysis of post-war discourses on care, which simultaneously noted and naturalised the exclusion of carers from emergent imaginings of health and thriving.
