Improving Nutritional Status in Chronic Heart Failure Patients: Effectiveness of a Transtheoretical Model-Based Stepwise Nutritional Management Program.
Article in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objective: To explore the nutritional status of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and evaluate the effect of a transtheoretical model-based stepwise nutritional management program on nutritional improvement. Methods: This study conducted a retrospective analysis of 100 chronic heart failure (CHF) patients admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to May 2024. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the patients were divided into an observation group and a control group. The observation group received a stepwise nutritional management program based on the transtheoretical model (TTM), while the control group received routine care. Nutritional improvement and clinical effects were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the 100 CHF patients, 27% had good nutritional status, 42% were at nutritional risk, and 31% had malnutrition. No significant differences in baseline data were found between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the observation group showed significantly lower B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) levels compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Psychological scores (Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)) in the observation group were also significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) levels were lower in the observation group (P < 0.05), and levels of prealbumin, transferrin, hemoglobin, and albumin were higher (P < 0.05). The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) scores in the observation group were significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The nutritional status of CHF patients is generally poor, and the transtheoretical model-based stepwise nutritional management program can effectively improve their nutritional status, enhance cardiac function, improve quality of life, and alleviate psychological burden. This intervention is promising for clinical practice.
