Impact of a standardized quality care model on anxiety in patients retained in the emergency department: A retrospective study.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anxiety is common in emergency department (ED) patients, affecting physiological stability, treatment adherence, and clinical outcomes. Standardized quality care models may alleviate these effects, but further validation is needed. This study evaluates the impact of a standardized quality care model on anxiety, physiological parameters, and quality of life in ED patients. This retrospective cohort study included 205 ED patients treated between January 2021 and December 2023, selected using consecutive sampling. Patients were categorized into the standardized quality care group (n = 95) or the routine care group (n = 110) based on prior nursing care. Anxiety and depression were assessed using SAS, HAMA, GAD-7, and self-depression scale (SDS), and psychological distress with SCL-90. Quality of life was measured using social functioning (SF)-36v2, while physiological indicators (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation), patient satisfaction, and medical compliance were recorded. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0, with independent sample t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous variables and chi-square (χ²) tests for categorical variables (P < .05 considered significant). The standardized care group had significantly lower anxiety (SAS, HAMA, GAD-7) and depression (SDS) scores than the routine care group (P < .05). Moderate to severe psychological distress (SCL-90) was also lower (P = .015). Physiological indicators, including heart rate (P = .012), systolic blood pressure (P = .03), diastolic blood pressure (P = .03), and oxygen saturation (P = .03), improved significantly. At the 1-month follow-up, SF-36v2 scores, including physical component summary and mental component summary, were significantly higher in the standardized care group (P < .05). Patient satisfaction (χ² = 13.28, P = .004) and medical compliance (χ² = 6.01, P = .049) were also improved. The standardized quality care model effectively reduces anxiety and depression, enhances physiological stability, and improves quality of life, patient satisfaction, and treatment adherence in ED patients. These findings support integrating structured nursing interventions into ED care. Larger prospective studies are needed to validate long-term benefits and explore technology-driven enhancements.
