Effectiveness of a tele-nursing system for palliative cancer pain in patients with advanced cancer: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

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.
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: This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Cancer Pain Monitoring System (CAPAMOS), a tele-nursing system for cancer pain relief. Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted from October 2019 to February 2023 among outpatients at Tohoku University Hospital. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention or the control group. Eligible patients reported an average pain score of ≥ 3 on the numerical rating scale over 24 hours. Pain, self-management, and quality of life (QoL) were assessed through questionnaires at enrolment (T0), and at two (T1) and four weeks (T2). Results: A total of 48 participants were enrolled. No significant group × time interactions were observed for any outcome measure. In the CAPAMOS group, the average pain scores on the Japanese Brief Pain Inventory decreased over time: 4.0, 3.0, and 3.0 ( Conclusions: This study found no significant difference between the CAPAMOS and control groups after four weeks. However, the CAPAMOS group showed improvements in cancer pain and its impact on daily life. This suggests that CAPAMOS tele-nursing intervention may require more than four weeks for effective pain relief. Trial registration: The study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN Clinical Trial Registry ID: 000038334).
