1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesto identify barriers and facilitators perceived by informal caregivers that impact care for adults and older adults at the end of life in Brazil.

methodsa systematic review of qualitative studies, following the JBI model, with meta-aggregation analysis.

resultsthirteen studies were included. Five synthesized findings were identified. Caregivers reported the following as positive aspects of end-of-life care: access to a skilled and caring multidisciplinary team, the presence of an informal and, especially, family support network, clear communication addressing end-of-life issues, the development of resilience, and support in beliefs and religions. Barriers identified included a lack of preparedness among professionals and in hospital settings to care for this population, and feelings of physical, psychological, and financial overload. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: the findings have practical implications, allowing for the development of strategies to mitigate the difficulties faced by caregivers in the Brazilian context.
