Rehabilitation Nursing Program in Oncological Surgery of the Head and Neck: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Portuguese journal of public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) has a considerable mortality and morbidity rate. Surgery is one of the most effective treatments; however, it may compromise the independence of patients after its performance. Early start rehabilitation is essential for the recovery of these patients, preventing functional capacity limitations. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the independence between hospitalized patients who underwent rehabilitation nurse (RN) intervention versus general health care after HNC surgery. Methods: Patients submitted to different types of HNC surgery were divided into two groups intervention by the RN versus general health care, the outcome was the independence categorized as dichotomic to assess the patient independence at discharge and their differences calculated by statistical analysis. To analyze the effect of the RN intervention on independence, a Poisson regression model was used, adjusting the confounding factors initial Barthel Index and age in the variable Barthel Index independence. Results: Independence at discharge ( Conclusion: The RN intervention is an added value in the independence of the patient submitted to HNC surgery. It is an innovative study in patients after diagnosis of HNC, showing that the intervention of RN through rehabilitation programs allows independence after his surgery.
