A nurse-led theory-based psycho-educational intervention programme for women with gynaecological cancer: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. 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
purposeTo explore the effects of a nurse-led psycho-educational interventions (PEI) on uncertainty in illness, anxiety and sexual functioning among women with gynaecological cancer (GC).
methodsAn assessor-blinded multicentre randomised controlled trial was conducted in Hong Kong and Hunan, China. The intervention group received a 4-session, 12-week-long nurse-led PEI while the control group received attention on four occasions. The outcomes were measured at baseline and upon completion of the programme.
resultsOf the 402 participants recruited, 202 were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 200 to the control group. The intervention demonstrated significant effects on ambiguity (Group*Time regression coefficient, B = - 2.13, 95% CI: - 3.87 to - 0.38, p = 0.017), inconsistency (Group*Time, B = - 1.27, 95% CI: - 2.19 to - 0.34, p = 0.007) and overall uncertainty in illness (Group*Time, B = - 3.27, 95% CI: - 6.34 to - 0.20, p = 0.037). At post-intervention, women in the intervention group were more likely to perceive a greater level of intimacy (p < 0.001), a greater level of sexual interest (p = 0.023) and their partners to have a greater interest in sexual relations (p = 0.005); and less likely to report a reduction in close physical contact with family and close friends (p = 0.034), when compared with their control counterparts.
conclusionWe demonstrated the potential benefits of a nurse-led PEI on improving uncertainty in illness and sexual function among women with GC in China, in comparison to usual care. In view of the potential benefits of the PEI on uncertainty in illness and sexual functioning, the intervention could be incorporated into routine clinical practice.
