1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To report the multidisciplinary management and perioperative nursing strategies for a preterm infant with extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor complicated by fungal infection of the tumor, and to evaluate the effectiveness of humanistic care measures for the family facing a fatal outcome due to malignancy. Methods: This paper reports the perioperative management and nursing care of a preterm infant with extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor using a case study approach. Preoperatively, the management included aggressive anti-infective therapy and isolation measures were applied to prevent fungal transmission, while a multidisciplinary team collaborated to develop a personalized skin management plan to preserve tumor integrity. Postoperatively, comprehensive care measures were implemented, including prevention of perioperative hypothermia, control of wound infection, and refined pain management. During hospitalization, attention was given to the psychological needs of the patient's parents, providing humanistic care and early identification to reduce the risk of maternal post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After discharge, individualized guidance and follow-up home visits were provided to ensure continuity of care, with the medical team, nurses, and family working together to extend the infant' s survival and improve quality of life. Results: The infant's preoperative condition was effectively managed; the fungal infection was controlled with no nosocomial transmission, and tumor integrity was preserved without new ulcerations. Postoperatively, the infant's physiological functions improved significantly, with no instances of hypothermia or wound infection. Pain scores were successfully maintained at mild-to-moderate levels. The humanistic care approach was associated with positive psychosocial outcomes; the mother's anxiety score decreased from 31 to 17 by discharge, and the parents demonstrated calm acceptance of the infant's prognosis. The infant showed good growth, reaching 4.9 kg at two months of age. Ultimately, the infant survived for 214 days, passing away on February 17, 2024, from tumor recurrence with intracranial metastasis. Conclusion: A comprehensive, multidisciplinary management approach is critical for rare and aggressive neonatal tumors. In this case, targeted perioperative nursing strategies played a vital role in controlling infection, preserving tumor integrity, and stabilizing the infant's physiological functions. Furthermore, integrated humanistic care was essential in alleviating family psychological stress and improving the infant's quality of life. This case provides a valuable reference for the integrated medical and nursing care of similar challenging cases.
