Application of a staged health education pathway checklist in perioperative care of patients with esophageal cancer.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a staged health education pathway in the perioperative care of patients with esophageal cancer.
methodsA total of 110 patients who underwent radical surgery for esophageal cancer and were discharged from our department between January and November 2022 were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into a control group and an experimental group (55 patients each) based on the order of admission. The control group received routine health education, in which the responsible nurses provided subjective and random health guidance based on patients' daily treatment and condition. The experimental group received education based on a standardized staged health education pathway checklist. The two groups were compared in terms of discharge readiness scores and health education effectiveness, assessed using the Health Education Evaluation Criteria for Thoracic Surgery Patients.
resultsThe discharge readiness scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). In addition, the experimental group outperformed the control group in overall health education scores and in the dimensions of health knowledge, health beliefs, and health behaviors, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01).
conclusionThe application of a standardized staged health education pathway checklist in the perioperative period of esophageal cancer patients allows nurses to provide more systematic and timely health guidance. This approach helps patients and their families gain a more comprehensive understanding of the disease and better meets their health information needs.
