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
objectiveThis study aims to enhance compliance with lower limb lymphedema (LLL) prevention care measures post-gynecologic oncology surgery (GOS) through quality control circle (QCC) activity, aiming to improve patient recovery outcomes and reduce postoperative complications.
methodsA 6-month QCC activity was conducted within the hospital, employing the ten-step plan-do-check-act model for QCC activity. The root causes of inadequate implementation of LLL prevention care measures were analyzed, leading to the development of relevant strategies and protocols. Compliance rates of preventive care measures pre- and post-QCC activity were compared.
resultsThe focus of this improvement initiative was on "inadequate postoperative preventive measures" and "lack of standardized discharge preventive measures." Strategies included ensuring nurses proficiently assess LLL following gynecologic malignancy surgeries, enhancing standardized preventive measures for LLL post-GOS, and establishing personalized and diversified education models. Following the implementation of QCC activity, there was a significant improvement in the compliance rate of LLL prevention care measures. The compliance rate increased from 74.00% before the activity to 92.80%, surpassing the target rate by 119.00%, with an improvement rate of 25.40%. Comprehensive evaluations of circle members' abilities showed significant improvement, with notable increases in problem-solving abilities, initiative, and confidence.
conclusionImplementation of QCC activity resulted in a substantial improvement in compliance with LLL prevention care measures following GOS, ensuring safer and more effective patient care services.
