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

objectiveTo investigate the effect of predictive nursing combined with Qi-Jiao moxibustion on the rehabilitation of cancer patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 tumor patients who had undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. They were randomly divided into a control group and a research group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing combined with Qi-Jiao moxibustion, while the research group received predictive nursing combined with Qi-Jiao moxibustion. Both groups received the intervention for 8 weeks, and were evaluated before, and 8 weeks after nursing intervention using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-100), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and digestive function assessment. The incidence of adverse reactions was recorded, and patient satisfaction and survival rate after radiotherapy and chemotherapy were evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the two intervention models.

resultsAfter the intervention, the research group showed significantly higher WHOQOL-100 scores, nursing satisfaction, digestive function, and survival rate than the control group (all P<0.05). The SAS and SDS scores of the research group were lower than those of the control group, which indicated a better psychologic state than the control group (both P<0.05). Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions in the research group was lower than that of the control group.

conclusionPredictive nursing combined with Qi-Jiao moxibustion effectively improves the survival rate of patients, alleviates their negative emotions, reduces or eliminates adverse reactions, enhances sleep quality, and achieves higher patient satisfaction in cancer patients following radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
