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

Purpose: Effective nurse-patient communication is demanding and essential when patients' treatment changes from curative to palliative approach. We aimed to illustrate nurses' experiences communicating with patients who have undergone end-of-life breakpoint communication. Method: Six nurses from both haematology and oncology wards at a hospital in southern Sweden were interviewed. The data were analysed using content analysis. Result: Three themes with a total of eight categories were identified: Conclusion: Nurses in today's healthcare system need education to provide the care and the communication that patients ask for and are obligated to receive regarding support and information. In the results, nurses suggest and relate their strategies for effective patient communication, which would also aid nurses working in areas other than palliative care. For example, they propose collaborating more with physicians to facilitate better information flow and patient contact. Moreover, reflective tutorials, including spiritual leaders to aid patients' existential concerns, are beneficial. The need for further research in this area is crucial for the growth and development of nurse-patient communication.
