Multidisciplinary nursing care in chronic Chagas disease: a scoping review.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundNurses provide essential care for symptomatic chronic Chagas disease carriers, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, offering crucial support, symptom management, medication administration, and monitoring to enhance their health-related quality of life.
objectiveTo increase healthcare professionals' awareness of the critical role played by high-quality care in the management of patients with chronic Chagas disease.
methodsThis scoping review employed the PRISMA-ScR method as a framework for article selection. A comprehensive search was conducted in the Scielo Brazil, PubMed, and LILACS databases, using the keywords "Chagas disease," "nursing," "nursing care", and "nursing assistance" in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The search covered the period from 1980 to 2022. The initial review identified a total of 633 studies, from which 17 studies were ultimately selected for analysis. These included two observational studies, two case series, and seven literature reviews.
resultsThese studies underscored the crucial role of nurses in supporting patients with chronic Chagas disease, particularly those with cardiac and/or digestive manifestations. Additionally, interventions pertaining to neonates with the infection and users of pacemakers/implantable cardioverter defibrillators were examined.
conclusionNurses play a critical role within a multidisciplinary care team in improving the health-related quality of life for individuals living with chronic Chagas disease, irrespective of the cardiac or digestive form of the disease. Therefore, it is essential to assess both the subjective and objective needs of infected individuals in order to develop tailored nursing care plans that address their individualized needs and clinical conditions.
