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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Orem's self-care model combined with nutritional intervention in postoperative patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsEighty-four postoperative CRC patients were enrolled and randomly divided into a control group (n = 42) or an observation group (n = 42). The control group received routine postoperative care, while the observation group received additional nursing based on Orem's self-care model plus nutritional intervention. Clinical indicators, including serum prealbumin (PA), albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), and body mass index (BMI), were compared between groups before and after care. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Self-care agency and quality of life were measured using the Exercise of Self-Care Agency (ESCA) Scale and the Comprehensive Oncology Health Outcome Scale-Quality of Life (COH-QOL-OQ). Patient satisfaction with care was also compared between groups.

resultsThe observation group achieved shorter times to first flatus, first oral intake, and first ambulation, and shorter hospital stay compared to the control group (P < 0.05). After nursing, PA, ALB, TP, and BMI increased significantly in both groups, with higher levels in the observation group (P < 0.05). SAS and SDS scores were decreased in both groups, with lower values in the observation group (P < 0.05). ESCA and COH-QOL-OQ scores increased in both groups, with great improvements in the observation group (P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction was higher in the observation group (95.24%) than in the control group (73.81%) (P < 0.05).

conclusionOrem's self-care model combined with nutritional intervention accelerates postoperative recovery, improves nutritional status, alleviates negative emotions, enhances self-care ability, and improves quality of life in CRC patients, thereby increasing patient satisfaction with care.
