Effects of a Post-Discharge Care Program for Surgery Patients with Brain Tumor.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesPost-discharge interventions addressing psychological, informational, and practical needs of brain tumor surgery patients are limited. This study aimed to develop and examine the effects of a post-discharge care program for patients with benign brain tumors who underwent surgery.
methodsA quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group pretest-post-test non-synchronized design was employed. The post-discharge care program was developed using the ADDIE model and delivered as an 8-week, 8-session program to 65 discharged patients (Intervention:
resultsSignificant group × time interactions were found between intervention and control groups for symptom clusters (F = 74.878,
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that the post-discharge care program was effective in improving symptom clusters, post-discharge adaptation, and quality of life in patients with benign brain tumors who underwent surgery. The program can contribute to achieving better health outcomes for this population in clinical practice.
