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

aimTo explore the factors influencing unmet care needs among young and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients and to provide a scientific basis for developing targeted nursing interventions.

designA cross-sectional study.

method196 young and middle-aged kidney transplant patients in a tertiary hospital were selected using convenience sampling. Demographic and disease information questionnaires designed by the researcher, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support questionnaire, the Mishel uncertainty in illness scale, and the unmet care needs scale for organ transplant recipients were measured. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.

resultYoung and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients had a moderate level of unmet care needs during their stay at home. Education level (β = -0.258), return to work/study after discharge (β = 0.168), complications within 1 month after surgery (β = -0.173), social support (β = -0.129), and illness uncertainty (β = 0.358) were included in the final multivariate linear regression equation, which explained a total of 42.9% of the variance in unmet care needs (F = 21.903, p < 0.001; R PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: The researchers assured the participants that their identities would be kept confidential and that a truthful answer would not impact their work. The authors express their gratitude to all kidney transplantation recipients who participated in the study.
