Observational study in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectiveTo investigate the effects of health education combined with dietary guidance on nutritional indicators, immune level, and quality of life of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

methodA total of 123 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis who were hospitalized to our hospital between October 2019 and October 2020 were chosen for the study and were separated into 60 control cases and 63 observation cases based on the ward they were assigned to. Patients in the two groups were compared in terms of nutritional risk, nutritional indicator levels in serum, immunological function, treatment compliance, sputum culture conversion rate, and quality of life.

resultWith the prolongation of patients' illness, the total NRS 2002 score gradually increased in both groups and the total NRS 2002 score of patients in the control group was higher than that of patients in the observation group at the same time point after discharge. The difference between the total NRS 2002 score of patients in both groups was significant at 3 and 6 months after discharge. After the intervention, the Hb, ALB, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ levels of patients in both groups were higher than those at the time of admission, and the CD8+ levels were lower than those at the time of admission. At 6 months after discharge, the Hb, ALB, CD4+, and CD4+/CD8+ levels of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the CD8+ levels were significantly lower than those in the control group. The treatment compliance rate of patients in the observation group (96.83%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (75%), and the negative sputum culture transfer rate (85.71%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (60%). The overall quality of life scores of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group.

conclusionHealth education combined with dietary guidance for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis can deepen patients' understanding of disease and nutritional knowledge, improve treatment compliance, improve their nutritional status, enhance their immune function, accelerate sputum bacterial conversion, enhance treatment effect, and improve their quality of life.
