Effect of the self-management education program on the quality of life in people with chronic heart failure: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Electronic physician, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05418478 (The Effect of Training Given to Patients With Heart Failure Through Transtheoretic Model-based Telehealth Methods on Self-care, Drug Adherence and Quality of Life), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundChronic Heart Failure (CHF) is a syndrome that negatively affects a person's Quality of Life (QOL). The efficient self-management education program increases the individual's abilities and skills for following and participating in a long-term healthcare plan.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of the self-management education program on QOL in people with CHF.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 60 people with CHF and without sensory-cognitive problem from April-August 2015. They were selected using the convenience sampling method, and were randomly assigned into the intervention and control groups. The control group received the routine education presented to participants at discharge. However, besides the routine education, the intervention group received the self-management education program consisting of three sessions followed for a 3-month period. The Iranian heart failure QOL questionnaire was used for data collection before and after the intervention. The independent-samples and paired-samples t-tests, Chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for data analysis via the SPSS v.16 software. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were reported between the groups in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics, indicating that they were homogeneous. A statistically significant difference was reported between the two groups after the intervention in terms of the mean changes of total QOL (p<0.001) and its dimensions, including symptoms (p=0.002), social interference (p=0.01), psychological condition (p=0.013), and self-efficacy and knowledge (p<0.001). In addition, an improvement was observed in the total QOL in the intervention group after the education (p<0.001).
conclusionsAccording to the results of this study, the self-management education program can be considered an appropriate strategy for improving the QOL in people suffering from CHF by health care providers.
