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

aimTo synthesize the evidence on the effectiveness and content components of nurse-led counselling interventions on the self-and symptom management of patients in oncology rehabilitation.

designA systematic review

methodsThe electronic databases MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Grey Literature were searched for randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental trials. Following data extraction, a quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist and the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The findings were synthesized in narrative and tabular formats.

resultsSeven studies were included in the analysis. Two RCTs measured a statistically significant increase in self-efficacy compared to the control group, and one quasi-experimental study showed a statistically significant increase compared to the pre-intervention period. Symptom anxiety was statistically significantly reduced in two RCTs and one quasi-experimental trial. Self-management similarities in the components of the interventions were seen as identifying patients' concerns, setting goals, developing action plans and evaluating the goals and giving patient-tailored information.
