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

objectivesto evaluate health gains sensitive to nursing care in the context of long-term home care.

methodsthis was a quantitative, retrospective study carried out in the north of Portugal. The sample consisted of 151 users aged 18 or over. Descriptive and correlational analysis, non-parametric tests and exploratory factor analysis were carried out.

resultsthe results revealed that the patients admitted were an ageing, dependent population with multimorbidities and low potential for rebuilding autonomy. The care provided by the home care team had a positive impact on improving functionality, controlling symptoms, reducing pressure ulcers and the risk of falls.

conclusionsthere is an urgent need for effective investment in promoting home care, guaranteeing timely and equitable access to health care. It is necessary to invest in effective, efficient public policies, driven by social and economic sustainability, in order to guarantee better health outcomes for the population.
