Nurses' knowledge on assessment and management of cancer therapy-associated oral mucositis.
Article in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
aimThis study aimed to explore baseline nursing knowledge on assessment and management of patients at risk for developing cancer therapy-associated oral mucositis (OM) at a tertiary hospital in Ghana.
designA descriptive generic qualitative study design was conducted. The study population were nurses who cared for patients diagnosed with cancer.
methodsParticipants were recruited using a purposive non-probability sampling technique. Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews using semi-structured interview guide. Data collection and analysis were done concurrently.
resultsThe study found that nurses had knowledge on the pre-treatment assessment of clients undergoing cancer treatment; however, they had insufficient knowledge on the standardized tool for the assessment of OM. They also lack a definitive approach to prevent and treat OM. Nurses provided general education on cancer treatment but paid little attention to the education on the possible side effect that includes OM. Additionally, insufficient knowledge level of nurses on cancer treatment-associated mucositis and lack of structured protocol for OM coupled with unavailable tools for assessing the oral mucosa were also identified as militating against the management of OM. Findings from this study will guide policy that will improve the care that clients who are at risk of oral mucositis receive.
