Integrated TCM and Western medicine rehabilitation program after breast cancer surgery: a best evidence summary.
Synthesis in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To systematically identify, critically appraise, and synthesize the best available evidence on integrated TCM and Western medicine rehabilitation program after breast cancer surgery, with the aim of providing evidence-based references to support clinical nursing practice. Methods: This study was conducted and reported in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines where applicable and the evidence summary development process proposed by the Fudan University Center for Evidence-based Nursing. Guided by the "5S" evidence pyramid model, a top-down systematic search was conducted across decision-support systems, guideline websites, professional organization websites, and major databases. The search period spanned from database inception to December 2025. Two reviewers independently performed literature screening, critical appraisal, and evidence extraction. Results: A total of 29 articles were included, comprising three clinical decisions, three guidelines, eleven expert consensuses, one evidence summary, seven systematic reviews, and four randomized controlled trials. The synthesized evidence generated seven thematic domains: comprehensive assessment, postoperative functional exercise, manual lymphatic drainage, exercise prescriptions, precautions for exercise in special circumstances, appropriate traditional Chinese medicine techniques, and medical supervision and incentive strategies during exercise, yielding 27 evidence-based recommendations. Conclusions: The 27 evidence-based recommendations across seven domains provide clinically meaningful guidance for integrated TCM and Western medicine rehabilitation program after breast cancer surgery. These recommendations offer an evidence-based framework for improving clinical practice. Healthcare professionals may apply the available evidence to clinical practice tailored to individual conditions, with the aim of improving patients' postoperative quality of life.
