Nursing Interventions to Reduce the Burden of Informal Caregivers of People With Chronic Illness: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Increasing chronic pathology's prevalence and the paradigm shift in healthcare services have created the necessity of a central figure in home care management: the informal caregiver. This role is associated with significant psychological and physical strain. Despite increased recognition, healthcare professionals often lack a comprehensive understanding of the impact of caregiving on these individuals. This article aims to analyze the determinants of informal caregiver burnout and identify nursing interventions effective in burden mitigation. A narrative literature review was conducted across the MEDLINE Ultimate and CINAHL Ultimate databases, spanning a 10-year period. The search included studies in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. A final sample of 10 articles was selected for analysis. Several variables associated with both the caregiver and the care recipient were identified as significant burnout determinants. These include the recipient's advanced age and functional dependency and the caregiver's age, gender, and marital status. The most effective interventions were categorized as psychoeducational, multicomponent, psychotherapeutic-counseling, and technology-based. The implementation of structured nursing interventions, with the support of specialized clinical expertise, is essential to ensuring that caregivers receive high-quality health support and resources.
