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.

Abstract

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 18 million annual deaths worldwide. CVD affects patients' Quality of Life (QoL) mainly in physical, emotional and social dimension. Aim To assess the QoL of patients with CVD in Northern Greece, using three different instruments. Methods The study was conducted in one large hospital located in a major Greek city. A convenience sample of 80 patients participated. A questionnaire including Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQoL 5-dimensions 5-levels (EQ-5D-5L), MacNew, demographic, and clinical characteristics was used to collect data. Results The mean age of the patients was 63.31±14.07. Analysis revealed statistically significant main effects of age on the physical limitations, emotional limitations, social functioning, and pain. Also, the analysis showed significant main effects of education on the MacNew Physical, MacNew Social, and the EQ-5D-5L index (p< 0.05). Participants who had graduated primary school had significantly lower quality of life scores than higher education graduates in the MacNew physical (p< 0.02). Furthermore, in the SF-36 pain subscale, the heart failure group had a significantly lower quality of life than the other heart diseases (p= 0.03)
