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

backgroundContinuous nursing care (CNC) is an extended service based on meeting the needs of discharged patients for post-discharge treatment and rehabilitation. This research aimed to investigate the effects of CNC on older patients with total hip arthroplasty and to offer a scientific basis for improving the prognosis.

methodsA total of 134 patients with total hip arthroplasty were randomly divided into the control group (n = 67) and the intervention group (n = 67). The control group was treated by conventional nursing care and the intervention group was treated by CNC. Harris hip score, Barthel index, the activities of daily living (ADL) scale, self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) in these two groups were evaluated. Demographic characteristics between groups were analyzed by unpaired t test. The observation indexes between groups were assessed by two-way ANOVA test followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test.

resultsThe scores of Harris hip score, Barthel index, ADL, SDS and SAS in the intervention group after intervention and after follow-up were better than the intervention group before intervention (all p < 0.01). Meanwhile, the scores of Harris hip score, Barthel index, ADL, SDS and SAS in the intervention group were better than the control group both after intervention and after follow-up (all p < 0.01).

conclusionIn conclusion, CNC showed better efficacy than conventional nursing care in promoting hip joint function recovery, improving quality of life and alleviating anxiety and depression for older patients with total hip arthroplasty.
