A Study of the Nursing Intervention Based on Self-Efficacy Theory for Patients After Mechanical Heart Valve Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

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
Aim: To explore the practicability and efficiency of self-efficacy intervention on the nursing for patients after mechanical heart valve replacement (MHVR), so as to provide a theoretical and data foundation for the implementation of self-efficacy intervention in clinical practice. Methods: This study adopted a randomized controlled trial (RCT). A total of 140 patients undergoing MHVR were randomly divided into the experimental group (normal nursing + self-efficacy intervention) or the control group (normal nursing only) based on a random number table. The primary goal was to evaluate the effect of self-efficacy theory on the self-efficacy of postoperative MHVR patients by General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The secondary goal was to assess the improvement of mental health of postoperative patients as well as their pain through Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) and the visual analogue scale (VAS). The incidence of infection during hospitalization was analyzed, as well as the medication compliance of patients during 3-month follow-up after discharge. Results: Finally, 136 patients completed the whole trial. The GSES score of the experimental group was notably superior over the control group ( Conclusion: Self-efficacy intervention for patients after MHVR could mobilize their self-efficacy, enhance their postoperative medication compliance, and improve their postoperative recovery. This study provides evidence-based medicine (EBM) evidence for the application of self-efficacy theory to postoperative nursing for patients receiving MHVR.
