1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To explore the effects of mobile phone application (App)-based continuing nursing care on the self-efficacy (SE), quality of life (QOF), and motor function (MF) of stroke patients in the community. A total of 101 stroke patients in the community recruited in this study for retrospective analysis were divided into a control group (CG) and an observation group (OG) based on the means of intervention. In total, 50 patients in the CG received routine community health education, based on which a mobile phone App-based continuing nursing mode was applied to the 51 patients in the OG. Changes in physiological indicators, including homocysteine (Hcy), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and total cholesterol (TC), were evaluated before and after intervention. Moreover, MF [determined using the Fugal-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA)], SE (determined using stroke self-efficacy questionnaire), QOF, and satisfaction toward nursing were evaluated. (1) Hcy and TC levels in the OG were lower after intervention; however, HDL-C levels were higher than those in the CG, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). (2) The FMA MF of the upper and lower limb (FMA-U and FMA-L) scores and the total scores in the OG after the intervention were significantly improved compared with those in the CG (P < 0.05). (3) Patients in the OG showed significantly higher SE scores than those in the CG (P < 0.05). (4) Scores of emotional health, emotional function, social function, energy, general health status, body pain, physiological function, and physiological features were significantly higher in the OG than those in the CG after the intervention (P < 0.05). (5) Patients in the OG expressed more positive satisfaction toward nursing than those in the CG, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Mobile phone App-based continuing nursing care may significantly improve the SE, quality of life, and satisfaction toward nursing as well as promote the improvement of biological markers and MF of stroke patients.
