Trial report in Western journal of nursing research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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

Abstract
backgroundPoor patient pain management in home hospice is associated with low family caregiver adherence to analgesic regimens. Health care technology can improve caregiver access to education and communication to hospice nurses.
objectiveThe study purpose was to (1) compare the effects of the e-PainSupport intervention for family caregivers on change in patient pain intensity from baseline to 14 days to the effects of a usual care control condition and (2) examine mediating effects of pain management knowledge, self-efficacy, and adherence to analgesic regimens on change in pain intensity, controlling for study condition and patient gender.
methodsUtilizing a 2-group, 2-week randomized controlled trial with dyads (N = 44) of patients (52% female, mean age 74.1 years) and their caregivers (75% female, mean age 55.2 years), dyads were randomly assigned to either the e-PainSupport intervention or usual care control condition. The e-PainSupport intervention included caregiver pain education, a pain assessment and management tracker, and communication to nurses. Participants were recruited from 4 hospice agencies in a large metropolitan area. Outcome measures included caregiver knowledge, self-efficacy, medication adherence, and patient-reported pain intensity.
resultsThe e-PainSupport intervention produced a small positive effect on reducing pain intensity (
conclusionsCaregiver use of the e-PainSupport app is feasible and may contribute to decreasing hospice patient pain. CLINICAL
trial registrationThe study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on May 3, 2021, NCT04869085. The first participant was enrolled on April 21, 2021.
