Association Between Perceived Control and Acute Coronary Syndrome Symptom Severity: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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
aimTo determine whether there are differences in patterns of symptom severity in three major ACS symptoms (i.e., chest pain, fatigue, and dyspnoea) over the days of CCU stay between patients with higher and lower levels of perceived control.
designA prospective cohort study with 3 days of follow-up.
methodsHundred and thirty-five patients were followed prospectively for 3 days, collecting data on (1) perceived control, using the Arabic version of the Controlled Attitude Scale (CAS-R); and (2) symptom severity, using a symptoms diary. A mixed repeated measure design ANOVA was used for data analysis.
resultsComparative analysis of the high- and low-perceived control groups revealed that there was a significant reduction in chest pain, fatigue, and dyspnoea symptom severity over the course of the 3 days for both groups. Compared to the low-perceived control group, the high-perceived control group had significantly lower chest pain on day 3, fatigue on days 2 and 3, and dyspnoea on all days.
conclusionPatients with high levels of perceived control have lower levels of symptom severity than those with low perceived control. Interventions to improve perceived control among this population are highly recommended. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
