Effects of the teach-back method among cancer patients: a systematic review of the literature.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 4 registered trials, which are not on this 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
purposeThis study aimed to systematically review published research on the use of the teach-back method among cancer patients and provide basic data for developing effective nursing interventions.
methodsUsing a PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparisons, Outcomes, Study Designs) framework, we reviewed 246 studies from selected electronic databases-CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycInfo, RISS, KISS, DBpia, NDSL, and KCI-and selected five studies for further analysis. We evaluated the reference quality using Cochrane's risk of bias and risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies, following which we performed reviews and analyses.
resultsFive studies were selected for the final analysis, including four quasi-experimental studies and one randomized controlled experimental study. The intervention programs were provided mostly by outpatient clinics. The cancer types of the subjects were breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer in four and one study, respectively. The number and duration of the interventions varied depending on the content. The number of outcome variables ranged from 1 to 5, depending on the study; among these, self-efficacy, symptom experience, and distress were used. Teach-back intervention programs significantly affected happiness, health literacy, anxiety about death, symptom experience, distress, and self-efficacy.
conclusionThis study found that teach-back interventions have positive health outcomes including happiness, uncertainty, self-efficacy, self-management behavior, symptom experience, distress, anxiety, and health literacy among cancer patients. However, it found no effects with regard to drug administration, functional measurements, or satisfaction. Future research should continuously examine the teach-back approach and assess its positive health outcomes for cancer patients.
