Motivational interviewing to improve the self-care behaviors for patients with chronic heart failure: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 13 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the effect of motivational interviewing on the self-care behaviours in patients with chronic heart failure.
methodsSixty-two hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure were recruited in this study from April 2014 to April 2015 from a hospital. Twenty-nine patients were in the intervention group, and 33 patients were in the control group. Patients in the intervention group received four sessions of motivational interviewing, whereas those in the control group received traditional health education. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-discharge, the intervention group underwent telephone follow-up based on motivational interviewing, whereas the control group underwent routine telephone follow-up. Primary outcome was measured using the Self-care of Heart Failure Index at baseline and at 2 months post-discharge.
resultsBefore intervention, the self-care behaviours scores were 79.00 ± 48.80 in the intervention group and 88.68 ± 29.26in the control group. No statistically significant differences were found between two groups in scores for each subscale and total scale (
conclusionsThe self-care behaviours of patients with chronic heart failure could be improved effectively through motivational interviewing.
