ObjectiveTo assess the reporting characteristics and quality of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of targeted therapy and/or immunotherapy for liver cancer.MethodsWe systematically searched six electronic databases for relevant RCTs published in English or Chinese from inception to April 17, 2025. The reporting quality of PROs was assessed using the CONSORT-PRO extension and the CONSORT 2010 guidelines.ResultsWe included 64 RCTs with 8,494 participants. Of these, 14 studies were confirmatory studies, 31 studies were exploratory studies and 19 studies were categorized as “Other” studies. 23.4% (15/64) of these RCTs reported PROs as the primary outcome. Twenty-seven patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) about 17 relevant domains were observed in these studies. The domain with the highest reporting frequency was quality of life (53/64). Forty trials utilized a single PROM, while 24 trials employed multiple PROMs. The EORTC QLQ-C30 was the most often used PROM (25/53). Nineteen trials employed single-domain symptoms or specific functioning PROMs. Eight symptomatic adverse events were reported in less than 30% of studies. The mean score of the CONSORT-PRO adherence was 7.5 (3-14) for confirmatory studies, 5.8 (4-9) for exploratory studies and 6.0 (3-9) for other studies. The adherence to CONSORT 2010 was poor among the included trials. Only 3 trials achieved good reporting quality.ConclusionAmong the 64 included RCTs, the reporting of specific symptoms and the application of specific PROMs related to targeted and/or immunotherapy were poor. Meanwhile, the integration of PROs with clinical endpoints was suboptimal, and PRO data were seldom used to guide nursing practice. More importantly, the overall adherence to CONSORT-PRO among the included studies was low. Although confirmatory studies demonstrated higher scores than exploratory studies and other types of studies, there was considerable variation within this category. Future studies should prioritize the use of validated, standard disease-specific tools and strengthen the evaluation of treatment-related adverse events. Furthermore, we advocate establishing a collaborative framework that integrates medical, nursing, and patient perspectives. Future studies, particularly confirmatory studies and nursing intervention or supportive care studies, strictly adhere to the CONSORT-PRO guideline.
In busy clinical settings, timely access to comprehensive and actionable guideline recommendations can be constrained, motivating interest in large language models (LLMs) as adjunct tools for scalable evidence access and education. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of LLMs in domain-specific question-answering tasks within the nursing field and assess the effectiveness of GraphRAG technology in optimizing LLMs. A knowledge graph was constructed from high-quality clinical practice guidelines for pressure injury management and integrated with two base models—Qwen-turbo-0715 and DeepSeek-V3.1—to develop optimized versions (Qwen-turbo-0715-GraphRAG and DeepSeek-V3.1-GraphRAG). Model performance was compared between 10 non-specialist nurses, 10 specialist nurses, and the LLMs using a self-developed 25-item questionnaire designed with expert input to assess knowledge of pressure injury management. Group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis H test with Bonferroni correction, followed by post hoc pairwise analysis. Average response times were also recorded for each model. Significant differences were observed among non-specialist nurses, specialist nurses, and LLMs (H = 17.662, P-value < 0.001). On this structured, guideline-derived benchmark under the study conditions, the LLM groups obtained higher scores than the nurse groups. The Qwen-turbo-0715-GraphRAG achieved the highest mean score (98.4), followed by DeepSeek-V3.1-GraphRAG (87.2), Qwen-turbo-0715 (86.4), ChatGPT-5 (82.4), and DeepSeek-V3.1 (77.6). GraphRAG optimization was associated with higher benchmark scores, but at the cost of longer response times. Overall, knowledge graph-enhanced LLMs showed more guideline-aligned and source-grounded outputs on this benchmark. However, these improvements were observed within a standardized, guideline-based assessment framework and may not capture the full complexity of clinical expertise. The findings support further evaluation of knowledge graph–enhanced LLMs in larger, more practice-oriented nursing settings and highlight the importance of considering the relative strengths of different base models before clinical application.
BACKGROUND:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Chinese herbal medicine mouthwash (CHMM) in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients with endotracheal intubation (ETT). METHODS:Computer searches were conducted for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG DATA, Chinese Scientific and Technical Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL Database from the establishment to April 5, 2023. The data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software. The methodological quality of papers was evaluated by the Cochrane version 5.1.0 and the certainty of evidence was evaluated by the GRADE system. RESULTS:We included 27 RCTs with 2426 patients. Most of the included studies were of poor methodological quality. Meta-analysis showed that CHMM (RR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.34-0.50, P < .00001, low-certainty evidence) or CHMM + routine oral care (RR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.18-0.56, P < .0001) could reduce the incidence of VAP compared to non-CHMM. CHMM may be superior to saline (low-certainty evidence) and chlorhexidine (moderate-certainty evidence) in preventing VAP (P < .05). CONCLUSION:Low-certainty evidence shows that CHMM may be more advantageous in reducing the incidence of VAP compared to non-CHMM. However, due to some limitations and the low certainty of evidence, we cannot recommend CHMM for routine clinical use at this time. Large-scale and high-quality RCTs are also needed to definitively evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of CHMM in the future.
Pressure injuries (PIs) remain difficult to avoid in high-risk populations, especially in older adults who are immobile, unconscious, or living with multiple comorbidities, and the inconsistency of research outcomes used to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures complicates the advancement of evidence-based practice. The objective of this paper was to conduct a comprehensive review of the application of outcome measures in randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews of PIs treatment. We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for relevant research in Oct 2024. Outcomes were extracted by two reviewers. We consolidated different expressions of the same outcome indicators. VOSviewer 1.6.17 software was used to generate network maps for outcomes. A total of 204 randomized controlled trials and 51 systematic reviews were included in this analysis. Commonly reported outcomes in randomized controlled trials include "change in wound surface area," "pressure ulcer healing status," and "percentage of complete healing," whereas systematic reviews primarily report "percentage of complete healing," "time to complete healing," and "change in wound surface area." Despite efforts to unify numerous indicators with similar definitions or content, over 150 different outcome indicators have still been identified as being used in research. Clustering analysis further reveals substantial variability in the selection of outcome indicators across studies, indicating significant gaps in standardization efforts. This study highlights significant discrepancies in outcome reporting for PIs treatment research, highlighting inconsistencies in the selection of outcome indicators, and establishes a foundation for developing a core outcome set of standardized outcome indicators for PIs treatment.

BackgroundThe inconsistencies between randomized clinical trials (RCTs) registrations and peer-reviewed publications may distort trial results and threaten the validity of evidence-based medicine. Previous studies have found many inconsistencies between RCTs registrations and peer-reviewed publications, and outcome reporting bias is prevalent. AimsThe aims of this review were to assess whether the primary outcomes and other data reported in publications and registered records in RCTs of nursing journals were consistent and whether discrepancies in the reporting of primary outcomes favored statistically significant results. Moreover, we reviewed the proportion of RCTs for prospective registration. MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed for RCTs published in the top 10 nursing journals between March 5, 2020, and March 5, 2022. Registration numbers were extracted from the publications, and registered records were identified from the registration platforms. The publications and registered records were compared to identify consistency. Inconsistencies were subdivided into discrepancies and omissions. ResultsA total of 70 RCTs published in seven journals were included. The inconsistencies involved sample size estimation (71.4%), random sequence generation (75.7%), allocation concealment (97.1%), blinding (82.9%), primary outcomes (60.0%) and secondary outcomes (84.3%). Among the inconsistencies in the primary outcomes, 21.4% were due to discrepancies and 38.6% resulted from omissions. Fifty-three percent (8/15) presented discrepancies in the primary outcomes that favored statistically significant results. Additionally, although only 40.0% of the studies were prospective registrations, the number of prospectively registered trials has trended upward over time. Linking Evidence to ActionWhile not including all RCTs in the nursing field, our sample reflected a general trend: inconsistencies between publications and trial registrations were prevalent in the included nursing journals. Our research helps to provide a way to improve the transparency of research reports. Ensuring that clinical practice has access to transparent and reliable research results are essential to achieve the best possible evidence-based medicine.
BACKGROUND:As pharmacotherapy often leads to adverse reactions, mind-body exercise (MBE) treatments have become a more popular option for treating depression in people living with breast cancer (BC). However, the most effective type of MBE treatment for this population remains unclear. AIMS:The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) was to compare the efficacy of the different MBE modes for depression in people with BC. METHODS:A systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to March 25, 2023, was conducted in the following database: EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine, OpenGrey, and ClinicalTrials.gov. A traditional meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effects model to directly assess the effectiveness of various MBE interventions. Stata 16.0 software was used for performing the NMA. RESULTS:The NMA was performed in 32 eligible RCTs including 2361 participants. The efficacy of MBE treatments on depression was ranked as the following: Liuzijue (surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA] = 95.4%) > Tai chi (SUCRA = 76.9%) > yoga (SUCRA = 55.0%) > Baduanjin (SUCRA = 53.9%) > Pilates (SUCRA = 38.6%) > dance (SUCRA = 30.2%) > Qigong (SUCRA = 28.1%) > control (SUCRA = 21.9%). LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION:Our research showed that Liuzijue and Tai chi might be the most significantly effective MBE intervention for mitigating depression among BC survivors. Healthcare professionals could consider recommending Liuzijue and Tai Chi as a complementary therapy for BC survivors who experience depression.
Objective:To systematic review the efficacy and safety of external application of traditional Chinese medicine on treatment of breast cancer related lymphedema.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, Sino-Med, The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science were searched for related randomized controlled trials, the retrieval time was from inception to May 25, 2020. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 16 studies involving 1 315 patients with breast cancer related lymphedema were included, and the methodological quality of the included studies was not high. Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment had advantages in improving the total efficiency( P<0.01) and quality of life( P<0.01), reducing pain( P<0.01) and improving upper limb function( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05), but there was no improvement in depression( P>0.05). Compared with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine could improve the total efficiency( P<0.01). Compared with placebo sticker combined with conventional treatment, external application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with conventional treatment can reduce circumference( P<0.05) and reduce pain( P<0.01), without obvious adverse reactions( P>0.05). Conclusions:Available evidence suggests that external application of traditional Chinese medicine may be a potential treatment method for breast cancer related lymphedema. Due to the poor methodological quality of the included studies, high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Head and Neck Information Needs Questionnaire (HaNiQ). Methods: The HaNiQ was translated into a Chinese version using internationally recognized forward-and back-translation procedures. The reliability and validity of the HaNiQ were measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, split-half reliability, exploratory factor analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: A total of 207 patients in different head and neck cancer (HNC) stages and 174 caregivers completed the Chinese version of the HaNiQ. Internal consistencies varied between good and very well (Cronbach's alpha coefficient 0.74-0.90); the split-half coefficient and the content validity index (CVI) of the questionnaire were 83.5% and 83.33%, respectively. The cumulative contribution rates of the 5 subscales in patients with HNCand their caregivers were 62.41% and 61.19%, respectively. However, there are some differences between the Chinese questionnaire for caregiver and the original questionnaire regarding the attribution of items. Items 22, 23, and 27 in the Psychosocial subscale of the English version were assigned to the Survivorship subscale in the Chinese version for caregivers. Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the Chinese version of the HaNiQ is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the information needs of patients with HNC and that of their caregivers. Though the structure of the Chinese version was different from the English version for caregivers of HNC patients, the Chinese version of the HaNiQ appears to be reliable and would benefit from further testing.
