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

objectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the effect of the Roy adaptation model (RAM)-based patient education on adaptation levels to the disease, mental health, and life satisfaction of elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

methodsThe study adapted a pretest-posttest randomized clinical trial design with a comparison between the RAM group (giving RAM-based patient education plus usual care; n = 80) and the usual care group (giving usual care pathways; n = 80). The primary outcome measure was physiologic-physical, self-concept, role function, and interdependence adaption levels measured by the subscales of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Gastric Module (FACT-Ga). Secondary outcome measures were mental health measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and life satisfaction by the Life Satisfaction Index A (LSI-A).

resultsThe RAM group showed shortened time to flatus and first oral intake, and reduced postoperative hospitalization compared to the usual care group (p < 0.05). The analysis of covariance controlling for baseline scores suggested that a significantly main effect of treatment in patient's scores in each FACT-G subscale, FACT-G total, gastric cancer subscale, and FACT-Ga total, HADS-A, HADS-D, and LSI-A. The RAM group had higher scores of physical well-being (η

conclusionThese results demonstrate that RAM-based patient education could effectively increase adaptation levels to the disease, improve mental health, and life satisfaction of elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
