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: The aim of this manuscript was to describe the frequency and types of nurse-identified needs, recommendations, and referrals delivered to intervention-arm carers of patients with high-grade glioma (HGG) during monthly nurse-led telephone assessments in the Care-IS randomized controlled trial. Methods: Primary carers of patients diagnosed with HGG (≤2 months prior) and undergoing active treatment were randomized to: a 12-month Care-IS intervention; or, a control group. Carers randomized to the intervention were included in this sub-analysis. Nurses recorded carers' needs and made recommendations and referrals. Data analysis descriptively explored categories of needs, recommendations, or referrals. Results: An initial Nurse Telephone Assessment (NTA) was conducted with carers ( Conclusions: NTAs identified a high frequency of carer unmet needs. Carer needs were highly variable, patient-focused, and changed over time. Nurses must accommodate a broad range of recommendations from providing additional information to making health/community referrals.
