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

aimsTo develop and validate a disease-specific discharge readiness scale for patients undergoing the first allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

backgroundPatients undergoing allo-HSCT face unique postdischarge challenges, but no disease-specific assessment tool exists to guide nursing management.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 163 patients. Scale development included literature review, expert consultation, and psychometric testing (item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability testing).

resultsThe final 24-item scale comprised four dimensions: Physiological Stability; Psychological Competence; Information Knowledge and Coping Ability; and Social Support. The scale demonstrated excellent psychometric properties, with a scale-level content validity index of 0.92, explaining 83.488% of the total variance, a Cronbach's α of 0.858, and a test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.965.

conclusionsThe scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing discharge readiness in this patient group. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This scale enables nursing managers to identify patients at risk, allocate resources effectively, and deliver targeted discharge interventions to improve postdischarge outcomes.
