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 explore the effects of empathy nursing on the quality of life and treatment compliance of elderly patients with cerebral infarction (CI).

methodsElderly patients (n=136) with CI hospitalized in our care were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group by a random number table, with 68 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were given routine nursing, while patients in the observation group were given empathy nursing. The anxiety, depression, quality of life, treatment compliance, sleep quality and nursing satisfaction of the core family members of the two groups were compared.

resultsThe observation group had lower Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, with significantly higher scores of physical function, general health, social function, emotional role, and mental health than the control group (all P<0.001). The treatment compliance rate (P<0.01) and nursing satisfaction of the core family members (P<0.05) of the observation group were significantly higher, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were lower (P<0.001) than those of the control group.

conclusionThe application of empathy nursing in elderly patients with CI relieves depression and anxiety, improves quality of life, treatment compliance, sleep quality of patients, and improves nursing satisfaction of the core family members. As such, it is worth clinical promotion and application.
