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

backgroundPatients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) often face complex and evolving needs throughout recovery. Person-centred nursing (PCN) is essential in this context yet remains underexplored in specialised care settings. In Sweden, the Assessment of Rehabilitation Needs Checklist (ARNC) is commonly used in cancer care, but its role in supporting person-centred conversations has not been investigated.

aimThe aim of this study was to investigate how the use of the ARNC as a conversation tool promotes PCN within the allo-HCT context.

methodsThis qualitative study was conducted at two major allo-HCT centers in Sweden. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with patients (n = 16), focus group discussions with registered nurses (RNs, n = 16), and from 30 memos written by RNs. Reflexive thematic analysis was used.

resultsThree overarching themes were developed: (1) Letting the Story Emerge, (2) Unmet Needs and (3) Structural Gaps in Practice. The ARNC facilitated individualised conversations and helped identify unmet needs, including sensitive or previously unvoiced concerns. However, the lack of follow-up and organisational constraints, such as time pressure and fragmented care settings, limited its capacity to support shared care planning and sustained engagement.

conclusionWhen used in dialogue, the ARNC has the potential to support person-centred nursing in allo-HCT by enabling narrative-based, needs-driven conversations. However, its effectiveness depends on structured follow-up and organisational conditions that promote relational care.
