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

backgroundNutrition is an essential part of care for patients with cancer, but healthcare providers lack confidence in discussing nutrition-related topics with their patients. Nurses provided with education can increase their confidence in teaching patients about nutrition; however, data are limited on the effects of this education on patient care.

objectivesThe purpose of this project was to provide education for outpatient oncology nurses about nutrition and assess its impact on nurses' confidence, use of nutrition resources, and patient care.

methodsThis quality improvement project used a pre- and postsurvey to evaluate the implementation of evidence-based, nutrition-focused nurse education. Data were collected on nurse confidence, patient nutrition needs, patient experiences with nutrition education, and use of nutrition resources.

findingsThe education was completed by 16 infusion nurses. Implementation of nutrition-focused education for outpatient oncology nurses increased nurse confidence and the use of nutrition resources. The most frequent nutrition complaint among patients was related to weight loss, with nearly half of nutrition consultations placed for that reason.
