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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of the care coordination of pleural mesothelioma program (CCOM program), an educational program that we developed for nurses to improve their knowledge, attitude, and confidence on the care coordination of pleural mesothelioma (PM) patients.

methodsIn this randomized controlled study relative to the CCOM program, we measured the self-reported total scores of knowledge, attitude, and confidence of nurses before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the CCOM program. The CCOM program consisted of a care guide and nine study videos featuring various aspects of PM (2 h 15 min) and a face-to-face workshop (3 h 30 min). Sixty participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 30; with program) and control group (n = 30; without program). Fifty-eight participants completed the study (intervention group, 28; control group, 30). The total scores of knowledge, attitude, and confidence at pre-test and post-test were compared using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).

resultsAt pre-test, the groups showed no significant differences in age, experience of taking care of PM patients, and working department, except for the years of experience as a nurse. The CCOM program improved the knowledge, attitude, and confidence in the intervention group, whereas the control group showed stability in the scores. Repeated measures ANOVA showed significantly greater beneficial changes in the intervention group on main measurement scores.

conclusionsThe CCOM program was effective in improving the knowledge, attitude, and confidence of nurses on the care coordination of PM patients.
