Impact of Patient Education on Quality of Life in Lung Cancer: A Narrative Review of Studies Using QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13.
Review in Cureus, 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
This narrative review evaluates the impact of patient education and supportive interventions on the quality of life of patients with lung cancer, focusing on studies utilizing the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13 instruments. A structured literature search was conducted across major databases, and studies assessing educational, physical, and psychosocial interventions were included. Findings suggest that patient education is associated with improvements in symptom management, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life, while exercise and psychosocial support contribute to enhanced physical functioning and reduced symptom burden. Despite heterogeneity among studies, the overall evidence indicates that integrating structured educational strategies into routine care may improve patient-reported outcomes, quality of life, and functional adaptation across diverse stages of lung cancer care, including surgical, systemic, and supportive treatment settings.
