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

backgroundChronic renal failure (CRF) is an important common health problem with high morbidity and mortality rate in the world and in Turkey.

objectivesThis study was conducted to determine the effect of home care based on the Neuman Systems Model on relief of physical and psychological symptoms and quality of life in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

methodsThis study was conducted as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial. The sample of the study was composed of 160 hemodialysis patients. The patients were randomly and sequentially assigned to experimental and control groups as 80 hemodialysis patients.

resultsAfter the intervention, it was determined that the symptoms levels of the patients in the experimental group reduced and their quality of life increased.

conclusionThe care provided based on the Neuman Systems Model reduced the symptoms of the patients having hemodialysis treatment and enhanced their quality of life. Care given using a model is important in improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients.
