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

backgroundHead and neck cancer and its treatments often lead to symptoms that affect patients' and family members' quality of life (QOL). To meet their needs, an advanced nursing practice program was implemented in a Swiss hospital.

objectivesThe impacts of the program on QOL, anxiety, depression, and satisfaction with outpatient care were evaluated in patients undergoing complex oncologic head and neck surgery. Anxiety, depression, and satisfaction with outpatient care were evaluated in family members.

methodsSequential retrospective surveys of patients and family members in control and intervention groups were conducted in a single-center tertiary hospital.

findingsThe control group had 29 patients and 20 family members, and the intervention group had 30 patients and 17 family members. Although QOL did not differ significantly between patient groups, patients in the intervention group indicated less anxiety and greater satisfaction with outpatient care. Anxiety, depression, and satisfaction with outpatient care did not differ significantly in family members.
