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

Objective: To investigate the impact of early individualized psychological intervention utilizing a virtual reality-assisted decision system (VR-ADS) on preoperative decisional conflict and postoperative recovery quality in patients with pulmonary nodules. Methods: A prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial enrolled 304 surgical patients with pulmonary nodules (June 2022-June 2024). Patients were randomized into an early intervention group (n = 155) and a conventional intervention group (n = 149). The early intervention group received individualized psychological intervention within 24-48 hours after diagnosis, incorporating decision-making style assessment, VR-ADS, and a decision partner mechanism. The primary endpoint was the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) score. Secondary endpoints included Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), EORTC QLQ-C30, postoperative pain, chest tube duration, hospital stay, pulmonary function, and complication rates over a 6-month follow-up. Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups ( Conclusion: Early individualized psychological intervention combined with VR-ADS reduces preoperative decisional conflict, improves psychological status, promotes postoperative recovery, and enhances quality of life in patients with pulmonary nodules.
