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

Background: Chemotherapy-induced toxicities are a significant challenge in lung cancer treatment, leading to reduced treatment adherence, increased hospital readmissions, and lower quality of life. Oncology nursing plays a vital role in managing these toxicities through early assessment, patient education, and supportive care. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a structured oncology nursing intervention on the management of chemotherapy-related toxicities in lung cancer patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 313 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer who received first-line chemotherapy at Hubei Cancer Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: the intervention group (n = 148) received comprehensive oncology nursing services, including toxicity education, symptom monitoring via telephone follow-up, early triage of adverse events, and individualized supportive care plans; the control group (n = 165) received standard care. Primary outcomes included the incidence and severity of grade ≥2 chemotherapy toxicities, unscheduled hospital visits, and treatment delays. Secondary outcomes included patient satisfaction and anxiety levels. Results: The intervention group showed a significantly lower incidence of grade ≥2 neutropenia (18.2% vs 30.3%, P = 0.012), chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting (24.3% vs 39.4%, P = 0.006), and unplanned emergency visits (9.5% vs 19.4%, P = 0.018). Treatment delays due to unmanaged toxicity were also reduced (12.8% vs 23.0%, P = 0.021). Additionally, the intervention group reported lower anxiety scores (mean STAI: 34.7 vs 41.3, P < 0.001) and higher satisfaction (8.7 vs 7.4, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Structured oncology nursing interventions significantly improve the management of chemotherapy-induced toxicities in lung cancer patients, reducing complications, enhancing treatment continuity, and improving psychological well-being.
