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

aimThe aim of the study was to determine the effect of self-care training and informational support of patients with a mechanical heart valve on the international normalized ratio (INR) and bleeding complications. MATERIAL AND

methodsDesign: A quasi-experimental study. Participants were recruited via convenience sampling and were randomly divided into two groups: control (

resultsDuring 6 months of follow-up, except for the third month, the frequency of INR levels in the therapeutic target range (2.5-3.5) in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (

conclusionsProper self-care training and informational support in patients with mechanical heart valve replacement have positive results. By maintaining self-care, the level of a therapeutic target range of INR can be maintained and the incidence of bleeding complications can be reduced.
