The efficacy of a nursing care and follow-up program for patients with heart failure: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 3 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
backgroundHeart failure (HF) is one of the primary causes of the increasing public health costs, incidence rate and mortality of heart disease. As treatment options for the HF have evolved, people have a better understanding of overall burden of HF, resulting a more centralized method for the treatment of these patients with chronic diseases. At present, with the rapid progress of medical technology, the nursing mode must be updated accordingly. The objective of this trial is to investigate the effects of the program of nursing care and follow-up on life quality, self-care, and the rehospitalization of patients with HF.
methodThis is a randomized controlled study to be carried out from November 2020 to March 2021 and was granted through the Ethics Committee of Changshan County People's Hospital (CCPH002376). The patients meet the following criteria will be included: the age of the patients is 18 years and above, and the functional classification is NYHA II or NYHA III. The patients with the following criteria will be excluded: patients who have received the by-pass surgery in the last 6 months; cancer patients are given radiotherapy or chemotherapy; patients with severe renal failure requiring dialysis; patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who need ventilation; and patients with hearing or visual impairment. In our experiment, patient information scale, the life quality scale (The Left Ventricular Dysfunction Scale) and Self-Care of HF Index are utilized for the assessment. All the analyses are implemented with SPSS for Windows Version 20.0.
resultsImpact of experimental programs on outcomes will be illustrated in the Table.
conclusionWe hypothesize that the nursing care conducted for the HF patients may improve the life quality and self-care. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: researchregistry 6129.
