Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: Nursing-Led Strategies - A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a prevalent and chronic complication that significantly impairs the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. As survivorship increases, the role of nursing in BCRL management has become increasingly critical. This review synthesizes current evidence on nursing-led strategies across the continuum of care, including early symptom recognition, risk stratification, perioperative prevention, conservative and surgical interventions, psychosocial support, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Special attention is given to the integration of novel technologies such as bioimpedance spectroscopy and wearable devices. Despite progress, gaps remain in standardized protocols, high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and patient-reported outcome research. In summary, nursing plays a central role in the management of BCRL, encompassing risk assessment, intervention implementation, and patient support. It is a key force in improving treatment outcomes and enhancing patients' quality of life.
