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

backgroundOnly comprehensive care and structured education can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of treatment and prepare patients for self-care. Unfortunately, Polish nurses are not ready to perform comprehensive heart failure (HF) care tasks without careful preparation.The purpose of the study was to evaluate nurses' knowledge of patient education in general and topic-specific perceptions of basic information important for HF self-care, and also to determine the variables (workplace, education, internship) that may affect the implementation of educational tasks in the care of patients with HF.

methodsThe study involved 304 nurses who were surveyed using the Nurses' Knowledge of Heart Failure Education Principles.

resultsCardiology nurses' knowledge regarding patient education for self-care is insufficient. The overall knowledge score was the highest among nurses in provincial specialist hospitals and university hospitals and the lowest in regional hospitals in small towns (14.98 vs. 14.35 vs. 12.83 vs. 11.89, respectively). Nurses who completed a cardiological specialty demonstrated significantly more extensive knowledge than those who had completed other specialties (15.52 vs. 13.71).

conclusionsCardiology nurses' knowledge of HF self-care principles regarding patient education is satisfactory, but not with all mandatory issues, especially in the recognition of disease symptoms, exacerbations, and pharmacotherapy.
