Evidence-Based Nursing Management of Semi-Implantable Intrathecal Drug Delivery Systems for Refractory Cancer Pain: Protocol Development and Clinical Evaluation.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 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
This study developed an evidence-based nursing protocol for semi-implantable IDDS and evaluated its effectiveness in managing refractory cancer pain to standardize practice. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence translation model, 34 best-evidence statements were synthesized from literature (2015-2025) to construct a perioperative nursing protocol. This protocol was implemented in 32 patients (post-implementation group) and compared to 31 pre-implementation patients. Clinical outcomes, including analgesic effectiveness and adverse events, were evaluated, demonstrating the protocol's impact on improving patient care. The evidence-based protocol significantly improved pain relief rates and patient satisfaction (p < 0.05). Overall adverse events, including infections, were reduced (p < 0.05). Compliance with all 12 nursing quality indicators improved, especially home care education (p < 0.001). Nursing staff also demonstrated significant gains in IDDS knowledge, attitudes, practices, and dressing-change performance (p < 0.001). An evidence-based nursing protocol for semi-implantable IDDS in refractory cancer pain improved pain control, implementation of this evidence-based nursing protocol was associated with better pain control, fewer device-related adverse events and higher patient satisfaction, which supports its feasibility for wider clinical practice.
