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
backgroundCancer patients with an implanted venous access port (IVAP) often manage their care at home during chemotherapy intervals, including maintaining the device, monitoring complications, and following medication instructions. Home care ensures continued support after discharge. However, due to factors such as age, gender, culture, psychological status, and family support, the quality of home care varies significantly. Understanding these factors can help provide targeted guidance to improve the care of cancer patients.
aimTo explore IVAP chemotherapy on home care quality and its association with mental health and family support for cancer patients.
methodsThis investigative study was based on a medical records system. It investigated the relationship between psychological status, family support, and home care quality in 180 patients with cancer undergoing IVAP chemotherapy. Psychological status was assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory (S-AI); family support was assessed using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and home care quality was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Pearson's correlation and Structural Equation Modeling were used to analyze the interplay between these factors.
resultsThe average S-AI score was 47.52 ± 14.47, PSSS was 52.48 ± 12.64, and EORTC QLQ-C30 was 70.09 ± 17.32. A substantial inverse relationship was observed between the EORTC QLQ-C30 and S-AI scores (
conclusionPsychological status and family social support positively impacted cancer patients' home care quality, with psychology partially mediating this effect.
