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

Objective: To evaluate the effect of family-centered self-care education via tele-nursing on health literacy and the self-care status of patients with heart failure. Methods: This study is a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Sixty heart failure patients were randomly allocated into two groups: intervention (n=30) y control (n=30). The researcher conducted six 20-minute sessions on how to take care of yourself in heart failure for active family members of patients in the intervention group via mobile phone on Eitaa APP messenger. Before the intervention and one month after it, patients completed the Heart Failure Health Literacy Questionnaire and the Self-Care Assessment Questionnaire. Results: Inter-group comparisons using the Mann-Whitney test showed that before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of mean health literacy scores and self-care behaviors(p<0.05). However, after the intervention, a significant difference emerged, with the intervention group exhibiting higher mean scores than the control group in both questionnaires (p<0.001). Intra-group comparisons further revealed that the intervention group's mean scores for health literacy and self-care behaviors increased significantly after the intervention compared to before (p<0.001). Conclusion: Family-centered education via mobile phone on Eitaa APP messenger improved both health literacy and self-care status among heart failure patients. Thus, employing tele-nursing to engage the family members of heart failure patients can be an effective strategy for delivering educational interventions as part of the treatment program.
