The Interplay of Quality of Life and Satisfaction with Nursing Care in Cancer Patients: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinics and practice, 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 narrative review explores the interconnected relationship between quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction with nursing care (SNC) among cancer patients, recognizing that cancer's burden extends beyond survival and significantly affects physical, psychological, and social well-being. A non-systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Google Scholar (2000-2025) identified relevant literature using keywords related to oncology nursing, QoL, SNC and patient satisfaction. Inclusion criteria encompassed peer-reviewed studies (quantitative, qualitative, and reviews) involving adult cancer populations and validated assessment instruments. Pediatric and non-nursing studies were excluded. Both QoL and SNC are critical outcomes in cancer care. QoL is an individual's subjective perception and SNC reflects the patient's subjective evaluation of how well nursing services align with their expectations, encompassing empathy, competence, and responsiveness. Research consistently demonstrates a strong positive association between high SNC and superior QoL outcomes, particularly through effective pain and symptom management, reducing psychological distress, and fostering patient empowerment. This relationship, however, is moderated by factors such as the patient's disease stage, the type of care (hospital vs. palliative/home care), and organizational deficits like high nurse workload, which can undermine the delivery of high-quality care. Ultimately, ethical nursing practices are crucial for translating professional duty into positive patient experiences that are favorably linked with both SNC and QoL outcomes for cancer patients.
