Evaluating the efficacy of mind maps and micro-videos in postoperative care education for lung cancer patients.

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
backgroundEarly health education is crucial for lung cancer patients and their families to learn self-monitoring and how to seek appropriate help for existing or upcoming issues. Mind maps and micro-videos are effective tools in various chronic disease and perioperative care settings, but their application in lung cancer care is relatively understudied. This study aims to explore the efficacy of early, continuous health education using mind maps and micro-videos in the postoperative care of lung cancer patients.
objectiveThe primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of mind maps and micro-videos on key health-related outcomes in postoperative care for lung cancer patients, including patient satisfaction, health education knowledge, nursing compliance, social support, and quality of life.
methodsThis study enrolled 133 postoperative lung cancer patients who were admitted to the special ward of Shanghai Chest Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 65) or the intervention group (n = 68), ensuring comparable baseline characteristics. Baseline characteristics, including age, gender, and clinical stage, were comparable between the control and intervention groups (p > 0.05), supporting the validity of the observed differences in outcomes. The control group received routine care and verbal education, while the intervention group received additional systematic, comprehensive, and standardized health education through mind maps and micro-videos. Outcomes measured included patient satisfaction with health education, knowledge of health education, nursing compliance, social support, and quality of life.
resultsPost-intervention, the intervention group showed significantly higher scores in patient satisfaction (80.25 ± 2.11 vs. 72.18 ± 4.57, p < 0.05), health education knowledge (80.03 ± 4.26 vs. 69.85 ± 5.36, p < 0.05), nursing compliance (96.92% vs. 86.15%, p < 0.05), social support (52.33 ± 6.71 vs. 38.67 ± 5.88, p < 0.05), and quality of life (82.8 ± 4.5 vs. 75.8 ± 5.4, p < 0.05) compared to the control group.
conclusionThe use of mind maps and micro-videos in health education significantly improves the postoperative care outcomes for lung cancer patients. These tools enhance patient satisfaction, knowledge, compliance, social support, and quality of life, demonstrating their efficacy in clinical settings.
