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

purposeNurses need to provide evidence-based care to alleviate symptoms related to cancer chemotherapy. This study sought to clarify the actual implementation of evidence-based nursing practice related to chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions and its challenges.

methodsA web-based self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among nurses engaged in cancer chemotherapy at nationwide designated cancer hospitals. The survey investigated the implementation of evidence-based nursing practices for three symptoms, namely, skin toxicities, peripheral neuropathy, and fatigue, with reference to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

resultsIn total, 503 nurses from 205 facilities responded to the survey. Over 90% of the nurses practiced preventive moisturizing, patient education for skin toxicities, and assessment of these signs and symptoms. However, only 69% practiced self-monitoring education for peripheral neuropathy, while only 51% practiced psychological education for fatigue. The relevant factors for these practices were their perception of the importance of evidence-based practices, their habit of searching for evidence, presence of a system for searching literature and learning opportunities in the facilities, and their perception that nurses were focusing on evidence-based practice at their own facilities.

conclusionsSome care practices that could be reasonably implemented based on evidence were insufficiently performed, highlighting the importance of reviewing daily practices. Factors associated with care practices were access to knowledge and information and learning climate, besides the individual's stage of behavioral change. Apart from educating individual nurses, efforts should be directed toward systematically creating an environment that facilitates the acquisition of evidence and establishing a culture of implementation.
