Effect on Symptom Management Education Receiving Patients of Chemotherapy.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The study of a planned education in patients receiving chemotherapy can alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and, thus, can increase the quality of the patients' lives. In accordance with this view, this study was conducted with the purpose of examining the effect of planned education given to patients receiving chemotherapy on their symptom control. The study was quasi-experimental. A sample of 140 patients participated, of which 70 were in the experimental group and 70 were in the control group. A patient data form and the chemotherapy symptom assessment scale (C-SAS) were used in order to collect the data. Median, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test were used to analyze the data. There were statistically significant decreases in the frequencies of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, feeling distressed/anxious, feeling pessimistic and unhappy, unusual fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. Also, there were statistically significant decreases in the severity of the 11 symptoms and on the discomfort levels of these symptoms. In the study, the planned education provided by the health-care providers had a positive effect on the symptom control of patients receiving chemotherapy.
