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 design and evaluate a self-management intervention program tailored for patients undergoing endoscopic treatment for esophageal and gastric varices secondary to liver cirrhosis, implemented within a collaborative care framework. Methods: The control group received standard inpatient care and discharge instructions, whereas the intervention group participated in the newly developed collaborative care program. Key outcomes, including self-management proficiency, medication adherence, quality of life, rebleeding rates, and unplanned readmissions within a three-month period, were compared between the two groups. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on disease severity using Child-Pugh scores. Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in self-management proficiency compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Medication adherence was markedly better in the intervention group (P < 0.05), with a 95% adherence rate versus 76.92% in the control group. Quality of life assessments also revealed superior scores in the intervention group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the intervention group had significantly lower rates of unplanned readmissions (5.00% vs 20.51%, P < 0.05) and rebleeding (10.00% vs 30.77%, P < 0.05) compared to the control group. The 12-month survival rate was significantly higher in the intervention group (95.00% vs 79.49%, P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses indicated that patients with more advanced disease benefited the most from the intervention. Conclusion: The implementation of a self-management intervention program within a collaborative care framework significantly enhances self-management capabilities, medication adherence, and quality of life while reducing rebleeding rates, unplanned readmissions, and mortality in patients with esophageal and gastric varices secondary to liver cirrhosis. These findings underscore the importance of tailored self-management strategies, particularly for patients with advanced disease, and highlight the potential of collaborative care to address the complex needs of this population. This study provides a strong foundation for future research to optimize and scale similar interventions in diverse clinical settings.
