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

Background: Childhood cancer is becoming an emerging healthcare issue in mainland China. Extensive evidence in the literature has demonstrated that cancer and its treatment experience can cause psychological distress that can lead to developmental problems in children with cancer. This study aims to screen for early warning of psychological crisis in children aged 8-18 years with cancer, establish a model of early warning intervention for children with cancer, and explore its application effects. Methods: We recruited 345 children with cancer and aged 8-18 years as the study participants, of whom 173 children were selected as historical controls during the period between December 2019 and March 2020 and 172 children were selected as the intervention group during the period between July 2020 and October 2020. The routine nursing model was adopted for the control group, and the early warning and intervention model was applied for the intervention group. The early warning and intervention model consisted of four stages: (1) establishing a management team to assess the risk of psychological crisis, (2) developing a three-level early warning response mechanism, (3) developing specific response plans, and (4) creating an evaluation summary and optimization mode. The DASS-21 was used to evaluate the psychological status of children with cancer before and 3 months after the intervention. Results: The average age of the control group was 11.43 ± 2.39 years, with 58.96% boys and 61.27% diagnosed with leukemia. The average age of the intervention group was 11.62 ± 2.31 years, with 58.72% boys and 61.63% diagnosed with leukemia. There was a significant reduction in depressive symptoms (4.91 ± 3.98, Conclusions: Our study suggests that the early detection and timely management of psychological symptoms through a nursing intervention model can effectively reduce depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms in Chinese children with cancer. Future work should include conducting qualitative interviews to understand the psychological experiences of children with cancer throughout their entire life cycle.
