Evidence-based nursing combined with cognitive function training can reduce the incidence of delirium in ICU patients and improve their cognitive function.

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
objectiveTo explore whether evidence-based nursing combined with cognitive function training can reduce the incidences of delirium in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and improve their cognitive function.
methodsICU patients in our hospital were randomly divided into an evidence-based nursing group (the E group) and an evidence-based nursing combined with cognitive function training group (the EC group). The incidences of delirium, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) scores, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, the Barthel Index levels, and the nursing satisfaction rates were compared between the two groups.
resultsBefore the nursing, there were no significant differences in the MMSE scores, the NIHSS scores, the Barthel Index levels or the PSQI scores between the E group and the EC group (P>0.05). After one week of treatment, the incidences of delirium in the EC group were significantly lower than they were in the E group (P<0.05). The PSQI scores and the NIHSS scores in the EC group were significantly lower than they were in the E group (P<0.001). The MMSE scores and the Barthel Index levels in the EC group were significantly higher than they were in the E group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the nursing satisfaction rates between the two groups (P>0.05).
conclusionCompared with using evidence-based nursing only, the combined application of evidence-based nursing and cognitive function training has a significantly better effect on the improvement of neurological function, sleep quality and normal living conditions in ICU patients.
