Humanistic nursing care and quality of life in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a prospective observational study.

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
purposesTo study the relationship between nursing humanistic care and quality of life in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
methodsA total of 382 NPC patients of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were included from October 1, 2018, to July 30, 2019. The Nursing Humanistic Care Experience Scale-Noninfectious Chronic Disease Patients version (NHCES-NCDP) and quality of life questionnaire of the European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 (V3.0)、QLQ-H&N35 (V1.0) were used to assess the relationship between the score of nursing humanistic care and quality of life. Paired sample T-test, Pearson correlation test and linear regression were used to analyse the data on the relationship between nursing humanistic care and the quality of NPC patients.
resultsThe score of humanistic care post-treatment in NPC patients was higher than that of pre-treatment (101.4 ± 16.6 vs. 99.3 ± 16.8); The scales of cognitive functioning, social functioning, financial difficulties, nausea and vomiting among quality of life were significantly associated with the scores of Nursing Humanistic Care before treatment. Emotional functioning, Cognitive functioning, Social functioning, Fatigue, Nausea and vomiting, Insomnia, Appetite loss, Financial difficulties, and pain among quality of life were significantly associated with Nursing Humanistic Care after treatment. Still, there was no correlation among other items.
conclusionThe quality of life score was reduced after chemo-radiotherapy in NPC patients, and it was significantly associated with humanistic nursing care. The quality of life of NPC patients may be improved by elevating the nursing humanistic care level. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
