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.
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 application value of the self-management manual combined with the case management model in postoperative management of nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.
methodsEighty-four patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma admitted to Yingtan People's Hospital from May 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. They were divided into the experimental group (receiving self-management manual combined with case management mode scheme, n=42) and the control group (receiving continuous management after conventional nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy, n=42) according to mode differences. The cancer-related fatigue [Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS)], comfort status [General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ)], self-management efficacy [Chinese Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH)], self-care ability (self-care ability measurement), pain score [Visual analogue scale (VAS)], and quality of life [European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)] were compared between the two groups after 4 weeks of radiotherapy. The adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded. Combined with periodic review and follow-up records, the prognostic factors of the two groups of patients were analyzed.
resultsAfter treatment, the scores of physical fatigue (12.83±1.10), emotional fatigue (9.78±1.32), cognitive fatigue (5.62±1.31), and total score of CFS (28.24±2.26) in the experimental group were 12.83±1.10. The control group physical fatigue (13.90±1.25) points, emotional fatigue (10.55±1.40) points, cognitive fatigue (6.80±1.75) points, and total CFS (31.33±2.59) points in both groups were lower than before treatment. The experimental group was lower than the control group (ALL P<0.05). The physiological, psychological, spiritual, socio-cultural, and environmental scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The scores of health knowledge, self-care skills, self-care responsibility, and self-concept score of patients in the experimental group were higher than the control group (all P<0.05). After intervention, the VAS score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). After intervention, the EORTC QLQ-C30 score of both groups increased significantly as compared with pre-intervention. The score in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(80.05±10.72) vs (68.11±12.10), P<0.05]. Postoperative (various) adverse reactions in the experimental group were lower than the control group (all P<0.05). The factors influencing the prognosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were age, tumor stage, and intervention mode by Cox model analysis (all P<0.05).
conclusionThe self-management manual combined with the case management mode can alleviate cancer fatigue, improve postoperative self-management ability, self-care ability, and quality of life of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer radiotherapy, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions and improve the prognosis of patients. It is worth promoting in clinical settings.
