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

Patients with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors of the lower limbs frequently encounter substantial postoperative pain, delayed functional recovery, and adverse psychological reactions. Conventional nursing care may not adequately address these complex needs during the perioperative period. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a comprehensive whole-course nursing model - encompassing preoperative education, perioperative care, postoperative rehabilitation, and psychological support - in enhancing clinical outcomes for patients undergoing limb salvage surgery. In this randomized controlled trial, 116 eligible patients were recruited and randomly allocated into either a whole-course nursing group or a routine care group. Clinical endpoints included pain intensity (VAS), lower limb function (LEFS), emotional status (HAMA), patient satisfaction (HPOI and nursing satisfaction scores), and quality of life (Karnofsky index). Data were analyzed using independent t-tests and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Compared with routine care, the whole-course nursing group demonstrated significantly reduced pain scores at 24 hours and 48 hours post-surgery (P = .046 and P < .001, respectively), improved lower limb functional outcomes (P < .001), diminished adverse emotions (P = .002), and enhanced quality of life scores (P = .003). Patient satisfaction regarding both pain management and overall nursing care was also markedly higher (P < .001 and P = .001). Cox regression analysis identified the nursing model (P = .017), postoperative recovery (P = .021), and quality of life (P = .028) as independent prognostic factors. The implementation of a whole-course nursing model significantly enhances pain control, emotional well-being, functional recovery, and overall quality of life in patients with malignant bone and soft tissue tumors.
