Nutritional challenges of gastric cancer patients from the perspectives of patients, family caregivers, and health professionals: a qualitative study.

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
purposeThis study aims to explore the perceptions of gastric cancer patients, their family caregivers, physicians, and nurses of nutritional challenges.
methodsUsing a descriptive qualitative method, this study was conducted in 2019-2020. Twenty participants (6 patients, 6 family caregivers, 3 physicians, and 5 nurses) were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and examined using qualitative content analysis.
resultsData analysis revealed three categories, each with two subcategories: eating, an unpleasant experience that contains "a feeling like hyperemesis gravidarum" and "childish food excuses"; flexibility while adhering to a proper diet, which consists of "dietary dos and don'ts" and "nutritional leniency"; and nutrition with distress that contains "patient's sense of being an extra burden" and "provision of nutrition with suffering in caregivers."
conclusionBecause of the significant physical and psychological impact of nutritional problems on patients and their caregivers, the need to provide care and education to these patients and their families using a multidisciplinary team is becoming more important.
