Barriers to implementation of discharge readiness services for elderly cancer patients by junior nurses: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo explore the barriers experienced by junior nurses in providing discharge readiness services to elderly patients with cancer, with the aim of informing the optimization of clinical nursing practice protocols.
designDescriptive qualitative research.
methodsBy purposive sampling, 15 junior nurses working in the general surgery department of a tertiary-level hospital in Yangzhou City were selected and interviewed in-depth one-on-one from February to March 2025.
resultsTwo themes and eight subthemes were distilled, including endogenous factors (insufficient interdisciplinary knowledge base of healthcare workers, professional attitudes and perceptions of healthcare workers, communication and coordination among healthcare workers and patients), and exogenous factors (insufficiently equipped human resources, lack of systematic and specialized training, lack of pluralism in social support, a single approach to discharge guidance, inadequate assessment and feedback mechanisms).
conclusionIn the practice of discharge readiness services for elderly cancer patients, junior nurses face a series of barrier factors. Clinical junior nurses should emphasize the importance of patient' discharge readiness services and adopt effective interventions to improve the level of patient discharge readiness and the quality of discharge instructions. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
