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

backgroundBladder surgery has a negative impact on patients' mental health, sleep quality. Conventional nursing interventions failed to meet the clinical needs. Therefore, this parallel-group RCT was performed to assess the effect of individualized psychological intervention on patients' negative emotions and sleep quality after bladder cancer surgery.

methodsPatients with bladder cancer admitted to our hospital (from September 2018 to October 2020) and underwent surgical treatment were selected as the research objects. They were randomly allocated to a parallel control group or observation group based on a computer-generated random numbers table. Because our study included behavioral intervention, blinding was not possible for participants and care givers. The control group received conventional nursing care, and the observation group received strengthened individualized psychological intervention under the nursing measures of the control group. Sleep quality, anxiety, depression, nursing compliance, and the occurrence of bladder spasm were compared between the two groups.

resultsSeventy-eight eligible patients were included and randomly divided in two groups (n=39 for each group). The intervention procedure was completed without losses and exclusions of patients after randomization. Before the intervention, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale and the anxiety and depression scores were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the data of the two groups were significantly improved. The sleep quality, sleep time, sleep efficiency, the time to fall asleep, hypnotic drugs, sleep disorders, daytime dysfunction, anxiety score, and depression score of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, with significant differences (P<0.05). The total nursing compliance rate of the observation group reached 100.00%, which was higher than the control group. The difference between the groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of bladder spasm between the two groups (P>0.05).

conclusionsIndividualized psychological intervention applied to bladder cancer surgery can effectively improve patients' negative emotions and improve their sleep quality.
