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

objectiveTo explore the advantages of continuous nursing for patients with advanced esophageal cancer after esophageal stent implantation.

methodsA total of 48 patients with advanced esophageal cancer who successfully received esophageal stent implantation in the Department of Oncology, at the First People's Hospital Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University were divided into the control group (24 cases, receiving routine discharge guidance) and the experimental group (24 cases, receiving continuous nursing through the issuance of a home nursing instruction handbook, dietary transition guidance after discharge, nutrition and food evaluation, and guidance on daily activities, medication, and prevention of complications, etc.). The quality of life (EORTCQLQ-C30), nutritional status (MNA score and the levels of hemoglobin (Hb), serum total protein (TP) and albumin (Alb)), anxious/depressive mental state (HAMA, HAMD), complications and satisfaction were compared between the two groups.

resultsEORTCQLQ-C30, HAMA and HAMD scores of the two groups three months after discharge were lower than those before discharge, and those of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The MNA score and the levels of Hb, TP and Alb in the experimental group three months after discharge had no significant changes compared with those before discharge (all P>0.05), while the MNA score and the levels of Hb, TP and Alb in the control group three months after discharge were lower than those before discharge and those in the experimental group (all P<0.05). The experimental group's nursing satisfaction was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionThe application of continuous nursing in patients with advanced esophageal cancer after esophageal stent implantation can effectively improve the patients' adverse mental state, nutritional status and quality of life.
