Postoperative self-management experiences among patients with aortic dissection: a phenomenological approach.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2025. 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to examine the postoperative self-management experiences of patients with aortic dissection (AD) through qualitative interviews, providing a foundation for the standardized management of postoperative home care for these patients.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 patients with AD postoperatively, in the cardiac surgery department of a tertiary hospital in Fujian Province between March and May 2020. This qualitative study used phenomenological methods and purposive sampling, with data analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step approach to extract themes.
resultsBased on the interviews, four primary themes related to postoperative self-management challenges were identified: limited disease-related knowledge, inadequate disease management behavior, insufficient communication with healthcare providers, and compromised psychological well-being.
conclusionPostoperative self-management among patients with AD presents several challenges. Healthcare professionals should provide targeted interventions tailored to the specific condition and individual differences of the patient in self-management. Such interventions are crucial for enhancing the postoperative self-management abilities of patients with AD, promoting rehabilitation, and enhancing the overall quality of life.
