1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThis study aimed to probe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing care in cardiovascular patients.

methodsA total of 120 patients with cardiovascular disease were randomized into a control group (n = 60) as well as a research group (n = 60). Patients in the control group received routine nursing care. Patients in the research group accepted TCM nursing care. The Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and SF-36 scores, sleep quality, occurrence of complications, as well as patients' satisfaction in both groups were compared.

resultsHamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) scores of both groups showed no significance before nursing care (P = .907 and P = .962). Hamilton Anxiety Scale and HAMD scores of the research group were lower relative to the control group after nursing care (P < .001). SF-36 scores in the research group compared to the control group were elevated after nursing care (P = .000). Total sleep quality scores in the research group were lower relative to the control group (P < .001). The incidence of complications in the research group was lessened relative to the control group (P = .013). The patients' satisfaction in the research group was elevated relative to the control group (P = .003).

conclusionThe use of TCM nursing care in patients with cardiovascular diseases can significantly relieve patients' negative emotions, improve patients' quality of life as well as sleep quality, reduce the incidence of complications, and have certain clinical application value.
