The role of oncology nurse navigators in the outcomes of surgical patients with head and neck cancer.
Observational study in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesto assess oncology nurse navigators' performance in surgical patients with head and neck cancer.
methodsthis observational, retrospective cohort study analyzed oncology nurse navigators' performance, comparing the intervention group (monitored by a nurse navigator) and control group (institutional flow).
resultsa total of 160 patients were included: 40 in the intervention group and 120 in the control group. The intervention group showed a 28-day reduction in speech-language pathology visits, 26 in psychology visits, 31 in social services visits, and ten in CT scan visits. The intervention group also saw a 53% reduction in emergency room visits and a 20% reduction in "Hello, Nurse" calls.
conclusionsoncology nurse navigators' performance contributed to reducing the time for surgery, staging tests, care with a multidisciplinary team, better adherence to treatment, reduction of "Hello, Nurse" calls and visits to the emergency room, thus confirming oncology nurse navigators' relevance in the oncology care center.
