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

purposeTo assess the influence of pain care and hospice care on the quality of life of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

methods136 patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into a experimental group (n=68) and a control group (n=68). The experimental group received pain care combined with hospice care, and control group received routine nursing. We measured quality of life and pain relief to assess the effect of pain care and hospice care.

resultsAfter nursing, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of the two groups decreased, the VAS score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of SF-36 questionnaire (physiological function, psychological function, physical pain, emotional function, social function, and mental health) of the control group were lower than those of the experimental group (P < 0.05).

conclusionsPain care and hospice care can effectively reduce the pain degree of patients with advanced gastric cancer and improve the quality of nursing.
