The Effect of Fistula Care Education Given with a Mobile Application on Disease Adherence and Self-Care Behaviors in Hemodialysis Patients: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimIt was aimed to determine the effect of fistula care education provided through mobile health applications on disease adaptation and self-care behaviors in hemodialysis patients.
methodsThis is an quasi-experimental study with the pretest-posttest control group design. The research was carried out between June and October 2020 in two private dialysis centers, with the experimental group (n = 30) using the mobile health application in arteriovenous fistula care education and the control group (n = 30) adopting the education guide. "Patient Identification Form," the "Arteriovenous fistula care knowledge form," the "Assessment of self-care behaviors with arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis," "End-stage renal disease adherence questionnaire," and the "Visual comparison scale" were used to collect the research data. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used to analyze the data. In this study, the STROBE checklist was followed for reporting.
resultsIt was observed that hemodialysis patients in the study groups had similar socio-demographic characteristics. According to the pre-education evaluation, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of commitment to the disease, arteriovenous fistula care knowledge levels, and self-care behaviors (p > .05), while a statistically significant difference was found in the same variables between the groups in the first and third months after the education (p < .05). According to the evaluation, statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of knowledge of arteriovenous fistula care, development of self-care behaviors, and adherence to the disease after the first and third months following the education (p < .05).
conclusionPatients using the mobile health application had higher levels of disease adherence, knowledge of arteriovenous fistula care, and developing self-care behavior compared to the patients using the education booklet.
