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

Objective: To analyze the preventive and therapeutic effects of comprehensive nursing interventions on chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted, and 80 pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent chemotherapy in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects. According to different nursing intervention methods, the patients were divided into an experimental group (45 cases) and a control group (35 cases). The experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions, including oral care, dietary guidance, and psychological support; the control group received routine care. The observation indicators included the incidence of oral mucositis, Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ) scores, pain index (Visual Analog Scale), and levels of inflammatory markers (IL-6 and CRP) in saliva. Results: In the first, second, and fourth weeks of chemotherapy, the incidence of oral mucositis in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05), with a total incidence of 51.11% compared to 77.14% (P = 0.017). Before chemotherapy, no significant difference was observed in OMDQ or VAS scores between the groups (p>0.05). However, in the first, second, and fourth weeks, OMDQ and VAS scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.001). Similarly, levels of IL-6 and CRP showed no baseline difference between groups but were significantly reduced in the experimental group during these weeks (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing interventions significantly reduce the incidence and severity of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies, alleviate oral pain in pediatric patients, and effectively reduce the levels of inflammatory markers in saliva. The application of comprehensive nursing interventions in clinical nursing practice can improve the quality of care for pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies.
