Educational approaches for patients with heart surgery: a systematic review of main features and effects.
Synthesis in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
introductionPatients who undergo heart surgery are exposed to mental and physical difficulties after discharge from hospital. They often need support and follow-up after discharge. The use of educational approaches or solutions before or after heart surgery can increase patients' knowledge on the post-operative complications and self-care. The main purpose of this systematic review is to determine the applications of educational approaches and investigate the effects of these approaches on patients with heart surgery. METHOD AND MATERIEL: A thorough search was conducted in Medline (through PubMed), Scopus, ISI web of science to select related articles published between 2011 and May 2022. All of the retrieved papers were screened according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist.
resultsA total of 29 articles were obtained from the search, which included in this systematic review after being assessed based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of the articles (n = 10, 34.48%) had been conducted in Canada and Iran, with the most significant number published in 2016. Out of 29 studies, 23 were experimental studies, and six were observational-analytical studies. The number of participants in the studies ranged from 11 to 600 (IQR1: 57.5, median: 88, IQR3: 190). In 28 (96.55%) studies, the educational approaches had a significant effect on clinical, economic or patient-reported outcomes. The greatest effect reported by the studies was related to clinical outcomes such as patient care improvement or change in clinical practice. The most effects in the patient-reported outcomes were related to improving patient satisfaction and patient knowledge. In terms of global rating scores, 17.24% of the included studies were considered as weak, 20.68% as moderate, and 62.06% as strong.
conclusionThe results of systematic review showed that the use of educational approaches by patients before and after heart surgery can have significant effects on reducing stress and financial burden, and increasing the quality of care and level of knowledge in patients.
