Oncology Advanced Practice Nurses' Memorable Patient Care Experiences: A Qualitative Analysis.
Article in Seminars in oncology nursing, 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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to describe oncology advanced practice nurses' (APRNs) experiences caring for memorable patients, the meaning derived from patients' experiences and the influence patients have had on their careers. This study builds on work describing the meaning of oncology nursing practice. METHODS/
resultsOncology APRNs (N=66) participating in an NCI funded ELNEC course responded to 3 open-ended prompts/questions: (1) Share a story about a memorable patient, (2) Why do you think the memory of this patient is meaningful to you? (3) How do you think caring for this patient has influenced your nursing career? A thematic, qualitative analysis of their responses identified several key themes including: (1) Lessons learned: Usually profound, occasionally resulting in career altering impact. (2) Admiration: Admiration for patients' kindness, grace, strength, hope and courage through terminal illness. (3) Delivery of high-quality palliative care: The foundation for deep connections and mutually beneficial relationships between APRNs and patients. (4) Challenges: Clinical scenarios involving APRNs feeling like they failed; staff distress, trauma, or grief.
conclusionsOncology nurses described early nursing career experiences of patients as the greatest teachers and shared invaluable and transformative lessons learned about what it means to be human in the face of serious illness.
