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

Introduction: Self-care emerges in the family context, despite being seen as an individual determinant of health. The family, understood as a system and social unit, converges to a pattern of self-care and not to a sum of it, assuming relevance at certain moments of the life cycle, particularly in the management of chronic disease. Purpose: To perform the transposition of individual self-care to the family self-care, considering the current family's needs and characteristics, by adopting family self-care as the core concept of a care pattern as a determinant of family health. Conclusion: The family unit is the most influential factor in the health status of individuals, and it will be through family self-care behaviors that families can be healthier by managing their diseases more effectively. They seek to achieve family health, maintaining health through health promotion and disease management practices, always mediated by family self-care behaviors.
