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

backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nurses play a key role in prevention across all levels of care, from health education to clinical interventions. This narrative review aimed to identify and synthesize evidence-based nursing interventions that contribute to the prevention of CVD.

methodsA structured narrative review was conducted. Bibliographic searches were performed in PubMed, SciELO, CINAHL, and Scopus. Articles published between 2014 and 2024 were included if they focused on nursing interventions related to cardiovascular prevention. The interventions were categorized by level of prevention: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.

resultsA total of 23 relevant studies were selected. The review identified a range of effective nursing interventions, such as health promotion, individualized counseling for risk factor modification, cardiac rehabilitation programs, support for medication adherence, and strategies aimed at preventing overtreatment. The literature emphasizes the value of nurse-led interventions in promoting behavioral change, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving quality of life.

conclusionsThis review suggests that nursing interventions play a critical role in cardiovascular disease prevention. Their effectiveness appears to depend on training, multidisciplinary collaboration, and continuity of care. Integrating these strategies into clinical and community practice may contribute to addressing the growing burden of cardiovascular disease.
