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
backgroundBreast cancer is distressing as it affects the whole family. During the course of anti-tumor treatment, it plays a role of crucial significance of the patient's discharge and subsequent home rehabilitation. The home-based rehabilitation of patients after discharge during anti-tumor treatment is closely associated with the matter of whether the next treatment cycle can be initiated smoothly. Nevertheless, the majority of patients and their caregivers are ill-prepared when confronted with multiple requirements, problems, and complex information.
objectiveThis research aims to investigate the application efficacy of the nursing intervention based on the IKAP model in the discharge readiness of the spouses or children of breast cancer patients, thereby providing a reference basis for clinical nurses to establish a discharge health education intervention model for them.
methodsThis research was a randomized controlled trial. From July 2024 to November 2024, 100 spouses or children of breast cancer patients in the Oncology department of a Grade-A tertiary hospital in China were selected and split into an intervention group and a control group(n = 50 each). The control group received routine health education during hospitalization. The intervention group, after routine education, implemented IKAP-based nursing intervention (info collection, cognitive ed., belief support, behavior int.). Data on discharge readiness, disease uncertainty of caregivers, and patients' quality of life in both groups were collected and analyzed by MMRM at pre-intervention (usually 2nd day after admission), discharge, 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks.
resultsThe IKAP-based nursing intervention had a significant positive effect on breast cancer patients' spouses/children, with a significant time interaction effect between groups (P < 0.001). From 3-12 weeks post-intervention, the intervention group's caregivers had a significantly higher discharge readiness score (3 weeks: 3.89, 95% CI (2.36, 5.44); 12 weeks: 7.09, 95% CI (5.55, 8.64)) and a significantly lower disease uncertainty score (3 weeks: -6.42, 95% CI (-10.12, -2.72); 12 weeks: -15.46, 95% CI (-19.18, -11.73)). From 6-12 weeks post-intervention, the intervention group's breast cancer patients had a significantly higher quality of life score (6 weeks: 9.62, 95% CI (4.01, 15.22); 12 weeks: 15.58, 95% CI (9.96, 21.19)). The intervention effects of the three indicators improved with increasing intervention time. No adverse events were noted during the study.
conclusionIKAP-model-based nursing intervention can significantly raise the discharge readiness level of spouses or children of breast cancer patients, reduce their disease uncertainty, and effectively improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients.
