Effect of adding individualized health education for patients with brain metastasis of lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy, as measured by MRI and cognitive testing.

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 clinical efficacy of individualized health education (IHE) and care mode based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for lung cancer patients with brain metastases undergoing radiotherapy.
methodsThis retrospective study involved 50 lung cancer patients with brain metastases. Patients were divided into a control group (n=25, conventional care) and an intervention group (n=25, individualized health education (IHE) care) according to their nursing model. Both groups underwent enhanced brain MRI scans. The patients were assessed using the Mini Mental State Scale (MMSE) before and at 1 month after radiotherapy. At the same time, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess the degree of cognitive impairment in both groups before and after the intervention. Finally, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire was used to evaluate the overall health status and quality of life (QOL) (including physical function, emotional function, and social function) of the two groups of patients after radiotherapy. The patients' self-care ability in daily life was assessed using Alzheimer's Disease Collaborative Study Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL).
resultsFollowing intervention, there was no significant difference in MMSE total scores between the control and intervention groups (
conclusionThe IHE mode effectively improved emotional and social functions and enhanced QOL in lung cancer patients with brain metastases undergoing radiotherapy.
