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

Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the effect and feasibility of psychological intervention on reducing stress in nurses caring for terminally ill patients in the Department of Oncology. Methods: This quasi-experimental study enrolled oncology nurses at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, between April 2021 and February 2022. Interventions included Soul Moisturizing Hall, Balint group, one-on-one interviews, and routine debriefing sessions. Psychological interventions for the nurses were carried out by a team of psychiatrists and senior clinical nurse specialists. The Work Stressors Questionnaire of Nurses in the Department of Oncology (WSQNDO) was used to measure the stress in nurses before and after intervention. Results: A total of 27 female nurses were enrolled, with the majority of them aged <30 years. Following intervention, the scores in each of the WSQNDO dimensions were all significantly lower ( Conclusion: Psychological interventions can reduce the stress experienced by nurses while caring for terminally ill cancer patients.
