The effect of education of self-care behaviors on the quality of life and resilience of multiple sclerosis patients.
Trial report in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common causes of non-traumatic disability in young adults. Typically, doctors diagnose MS between the ages of 20 and 50. This study aims to determine the effect of educational intervention on self-care behaviors on MS patients' quality of life and resilience in Shiraz, Iran.
methodsThis interventional study included 90 individuals, aged 15 to 50, who were members of the support association for MS patients in Shiraz city, Iran. The study employed a convenient sampling method. Patients were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups, and the self-care educational program was conducted during six educational sessions. The quality of life and resilience of the patients were measured before and after the study. Information was collected by completing the questionnaires before and three months after the intervention. To analyze the data, SPSS 23 was used. To describe the data, frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation indicators were used, and for analysis, independent t-tests and paired t-tests were used.
resultsThis study examined a total of 90 MS patients. 50.4% of the people in the study were married, 40% of them had a high school diploma, and 78.5% were unemployed. The results of the t-test showed that there was a significant difference between all the components of self-care, quality of life, and resilience before and after the intervention (P < 0.05).
conclusionBy accepting the responsibility of self-care, patients would improve the inadequacies and disabilities resulting from the disease, use the power of self-care to solve problems, and improve their quality of life and resilience.
