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
Objective: To evaluate the impact of narrative nursing combined with evidence-based nursing on the emotional well-being, self-health behavior, quality of life (QOL) and complications in cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Methods: This retrospective study included 119 cancer patients with PICC, treated at the First People's Hospital of Linping District, Hangzhou, from February 2022 to September 2024. According to the different nursing plans, patients were divided into a narrative (n=62, narrative nursing combined with evidence-based nursing) and a conventional group (n=57, routine nursing). The extent of negative emotions, self-health behaviors, quality of life (QOL) and incidence of complications was assessed in both groups before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores were reduced in both groups, with more pronounced improvements observed in the narrative group (P<0.05), suggesting a potential association with the combined intervention. Postintervention scores for self-concept, health knowledge, self-responsibility, self-care skills, and SF-36 showed improvement in both groups, with higher scores observed in the narrative group (P<0.05), indicating possible benefits linked to the combined approach. The narrative group also had a lower incidence of complications (11.2%) compared to the conventional group (26.4%) (P<0.05), which may suggest an association with the nursing model. Conclusions: The combination of narrative and evidence-based nursing can more effectively alleviate the negative emotions of cancer patients with PICC, enhance their self-health behaviors, improve QOL and reduce complications.
