The Effect of Self-Care Education on Adherence to Treatment in Elderly Patients with Heart Failure: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Noncompliance with treatment in the elderly with Heart Failure (HF) may result in a lack of recovery, a decrease in longevity, rehospitalization, and additional costs. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of self-care education on adherence to treatment among elderly patients with HF. Materials and Methods: This study was a parallel clinical trial on 90 elderly people over 60 years of age who were hospitalized in cardiac wards. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics form and the adherence to treatment questionnaire. Individuals who met the study inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group training was performed before and after discharge. The adherence to treatment questionnaire was completed again by both groups 2 months after discharge. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test; ex. (?2 = 3.95, df = 1, p = 0.046), paired and independent Results: The mean (standard deviation) total score of adherence to treatment in the intervention group was 39.71 (4.51) and 78.72 (10.47) before and after the self-care education, respectively. Paired Conclusions: Self-care education before discharge and home-based education were effective in promoting adherence to treatment among patients with HF. Therefore, self-care education before discharge may improve adherence to treatment among elderly patients with HF.
