Improving the quality of nursing care: systematic nurse-led monitoring and implementation of a clinical tool for symptoms of acute toxicity in patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancers.

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
Many patients with otolaryngological (ENT) cancers are treated with various combinations of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Acute toxicity from radiation therapy can be experienced during and after treatment. Managing toxicity can be a complex process, often requiring the involvement of a multidisciplinary team. Early detection and management of treatment-related toxicity can improve short- and long-term outcomes for patients. Nurses, being at the heart of patient care, are in the best position to detect and treat acute toxicity. This paper explores a systematic nurse-led approach to monitoring acute toxicity. This approach was developed and implemented by a clinical oncology nurse in a university-affiliated cancer care centre to facilitate the early detection and management of symptoms in these patients.
