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

backgroundAt present, surgery is the main treatment for patients with glioma, but there are certain risks in the operation. The traction and stress reaction of related brain tissue during surgery can cause complications such as cerebral edema, which adversely affects the prognosis of patients. The purpose of the present study was to explore the effect of an eight-step process combined with four-track quality control applied to patients undergoing glioma surgery.

methodsA total of 122 patients undergoing glioma surgery admitted to our hospital from March 2017 to March 2020 were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method, each with 61 cases. The control group underwent routine intervention after surgery and the observation group underwent an eight-step process combined with four-track cross-over quality control intervention after surgery. The postoperative rehabilitation effects, cancer-related fatigue, changes in quality of life, and the incidence of complications before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe time of catheter removal, the time of first eating, the time of getting out of bed, and the length of hospital stay of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05). In the observation group cognitive fatigue, physical fatigue, and emotional fatigue scores were lower than those of the control group after intervention (P<0.05) and the quality-of-life scores of the observation group after intervention were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The total incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionsThe eight-step process combined with four-track quality control applied to patients undergoing glioma surgery can reduce cancer-related fatigue, improve quality of life, reduce complications, and promote speedy recovery.
