The implementation and evaluation of HIV symptom management guidelines: A preliminary study in China.
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. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThe overarching objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of HIV symptom management guidelines in China in reducing the incidence and severity of symptoms and improving patients' quality of life.
methodsWe conducted a controlled, pre- and post-implementation design in the HIV/AIDS inpatient unit in Shanghai. Patients recruited from November 2014 to February 2015 were in the intervention group and those from October 2013 to February 2014 were in the control group. There were 74 patients in each group. Participants in the intervention group received interventions based on the HIV symptom management guidelines. Overall symptom severity, depression, and quality of life were measured in two groups at baseline, week 4, and week 8.
resultsTotally 126 patients completed the research, 65 in the intervention group and 61 in the control group. The total symptom severity scores showed a statistically significant difference between groups across time (
conclusionThe evidence-based HIV symptom management guidelines can improve a patient's quality of life and relieve negative symptoms. The guidelines can be applied in a similar context to other HIV/AIDS units or clinics.
