Sociodemographic, disease-related and lifestyle determinants of health-related quality of life among older patients hospitalized with heart failure.

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
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults hospitalized with heart failure. A total of 210 patients (mean age 80.99 ± 8.32 years; 65.24% female) participated in the study. The standardized EQ-5D-5 L questionnaire was used as the main instrument to assess HRQoL.The average health status assessment on the EQ VAS scale in the study group of patients was 56.03 ± 18.81. Patients reported the greatest mobility problems, with 25.71% of them having severe walking problems and 7.62% of patients being unable to walk. 22.39% of respondents had serious problems with performing everyday activities or were unable to perform them at all. Nearly one fifth of patients experienced severe or extreme pain or discomfort (19.05%). Physical activity turned out to have a significant impact on motor skills (p < 0.001), self-care (p < 0.001), usual activities (p < 0.001) and anxiety/depression (p = 0.001). In conclusion, the quality of life of older patients hospitalized due to HF is reduced compared to the general population. The most prominent issues are pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. A number of socioeconomic factors influence the quality of life of patients with HF.
