Impact of a Nurse-Led Lifestyle Intervention on Functional Capacity and Quality of Life in Peripheral Arterial Disease: A Controlled Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) significantly impairs functional capacity and quality of life (QoL) due to reduced lower limb perfusion. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a nurse-led intervention program incorporating dietary counseling, exercise, and education on functional capacity and QoL in PAD patients. Methods: A pretest/posttest-controlled design was employed with 30 participants (15 experimental, 15 control) recruited from KG Hospital, Coimbatore, India. The intervention included nutritional supplementation, home-based walking, Buerger Allen exercises, and educational sessions over six months. Outcomes were assessed using the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), and VascuQoL-25 at baseline, three months, and six months. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in ABI (0.84 vs. 0.65, Conclusion: These findings suggest that nurse-led interventions are effective in enhancing functional capacity and metabolic health in PAD patients, supporting their integration into clinical practice.
