The effect of comfort nursing on liver function and nursing satisfaction of patients with liver cirrhosis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe goal of the present study was to explore and analyze the effect of comfort care on liver function and nursing satisfaction of patients with liver cirrhosis.
methodA total of 122 patients with liver cirrhosis addmitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were equally divided into a general care group (GC) and a comfort care group (CC) according to the principle of randomization. Routine care intervention was given in the GC group, and the CC group received both comfort care intervention and routine care intervention. The care effects regarding liver function and nursing satisfaction, etc. were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
resultsAfter care, both SAS score and SDS score in the two groups decreased, and the CC group had better scores of SAS and SDS as compared to the GC group (P<0.05). After care, the ALT and AST levels of the two groups all decreased. In the GC group, the ALT and AST demonstrated significantly better levels than those in the GC group (P<0.01). After care, each aspect in the CC group had better scores as compared to that in the GC group (P<0.05). After care, in the CC group, all the physiology, psychology, society and other index scores were significantly better than those in the GC group (P<0.05). Patients in the CC group had higher treatment compliance scores in comparison to patients in the GC group [(89.86±6.45) vs (64.46±13.75), P<0.01]. In the CC group, the nursing satisfaction (93.44%) was significantly higher than 78.69% in the GC group (P<0.01).
conclusionComfort care is a preferred nursing method for patients with liver cirrhosis in terms of elimination of negative emotions, recovery of liver function, quality of life improvement, treatment compliance, and nursing satisfaction.
