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

objectiveThis paper was designed to reveal the effects of evidence-based rehabilitation nursing (EBRN) combined with early neck and shoulder exercises on cervical mobility in patients with thyroid cancer (TC) undergoing transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via the vestibular approach (TOETVA).

methodsOne hundred and twenty TOETVA patients were randomized into control (routine nursing) and study (EBRN plus early neck/shoulder exercises) groups (n = 60 each). Outcomes included related surgical indicators, adverse events, neck pain and mobility (NPDS), illness perception (BIPQ), quality of life (QLICP-HN), and nursing satisfaction (NSNS).

resultsNo significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to the 24-h postoperative drainage volume, drainage tube retention time, postoperative hospital stay, or the incidence of postoperative adverse events (all P > 0.05). At postoperative day 7, the study group had lower NPDS scores across all dimensions and greater cervical mobility in six directions than the control group (P < 0.05). At 1 month postoperatively, the study group had lower BIPQ scores and higher QLICP-HN and NSNS scores than the control group (all P < 0.05).

conclusionEBRN plus early neck and shoulder exercises may effectively improve cervical mobility, alleviate postoperative pain and disability, and enhance disease perception, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction in TC patients undergoing TOETVA.
