Peer-Delivered Interventions for Caregivers in the ICU with a Focus on Severe Acute Brain Injury: A Scoping Review.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Approximately 50% of family caregivers of patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI) admitted to intensive care units experience clinically significant anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress. Peer-delivered interventions may be a sustainable way to provide social connection, emotional support, and evidence-based coping skills for family caregivers of patients with SABI to improve their mental health and well-being. The aim of this scoping review was to examine existing peer-delivered interventions for family caregivers of adult patients with SABI admitted to neurocritical and other critical care units. We set broad inclusion criteria and identified ten examples of peer-delivered interventions for family caregivers of adult patients with critical illness, of which only two were tailored to the needs of caregivers for patients who had experienced SABI. Our results indicated that (1) very few examples of peer-delivered interventions for this population exist, (2) all existing examples are professional-led (e.g., nurse-led) multifamily support groups, and (3) existing interventions demonstrate mixed results. Future research is needed to develop and evaluate peer-delivered interventions, including testing different models of peer-delivered interventions (e.g., one-to-one peer mentorship), programs that provide skills and support to caregivers after discharge, and skills-based formats that are tailored to the unique needs of SABI caregivers.
