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 evaluate the impact of a communication-based intervention program rooted in narrative medicine theory on the quality of nursing care and patient outcomes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 98 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated at our hospital between September 2022 and August 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on historical nursing records: the control group (n=49) received routine standard nursing care, while the observation group (n=49) received routine care supplemented with a narrative medicine-based communication intervention. The intervention was conducted 1-2 times per week over four consecutive weeks. Outcomes were assessed using the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), Herth Hope Index (HHI), Nursing Quality Evaluation Scale, and Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire, measured at baseline and post-intervention. Results: Compared to controls, the observation group showed significantly reduced fear of progression (FoP-Q-SF: 33.53 vs 43.11), improved sleep (PSQI: 11.25 vs 15.41), lower cancer-related fatigue (CFS total: 28.23 vs 35.94), and higher hope levels (HHI: 33.45 vs 25.56) (all p < 0.001). Nursing quality and communication satisfaction also improved significantly across all domains (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The communication-based intervention program based on narrative medicine significantly improves psychological well-being, sleep quality, cancer-related fatigue, hope level, and overall nursing quality in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This approach offers a feasible and effective model for enhancing holistic cancer care.
