Experience and Needs of Immunotherapy for Lung Cancer Patients: A Meta-Synthesis of Qualitative Studies.
Synthesis in Psycho-oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to systematically evaluate the experience and needs of lung cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy, providing a theoretical basis for healthcare staff to implement comprehensive nursing programs for these patients.
methodsTen databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed were systematically searched. The search encompassed articles published from the inception of each database until December 2024. The quality of the articles was assessed using the qualitative research quality evaluation criteria from the Joanna Briggs Institute's Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia. The findings were summarized and synthesized using a meta-synthesis methodology.
resultsA total of 12 studies were included, and four findings were identified: (1) immunotherapy makes patients face multiple health transitions; (2) patients will find ways to improve their symptoms when facing immune-related adverse events (irAEs); (3) issues in self-rehabilitation management of patients at home; (4) lung cancer patients receiving immunotherapy have multidimensional needs.
conclusionsHealthcare staff should pay attention to the early manifestations of patients' adverse reactions and promote doctor-patient communication; Through understanding the stage of patients' psychological state, give targeted nursing; And improve patients' self-management ability and meet their relevant needs.
