Evaluating the efficacy of a continuous comprehensive nursing system on postoperative hemoglobin levels and quality of life in coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of a continuous comprehensive nursing (CCN) system compared to routine care on postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) levels and quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
methodsThis randomized controlled trial (RCT) enrolled 120 patients undergoing CABG. Patients were allocated using computer-generated random numbers (1:1) to either the intervention group (n = 60), receiving a CCN plan, or the control group (n = 60), receiving standard postoperative care. The CCN intervention provided a patient-centered approach encompassing preoperative education, psychological support, continuous postoperative monitoring, personalized care plans, rehabilitation guidance, and structured follow-up extending for three months beyond discharge.
resultsAlthough baseline differences in BMI and Hb were noted, both groups were otherwise comparable. While Hb levels initially declined in both groups, by day 7 post-surgery, the CCN group demonstrated significantly higher Hb levels compared to the control group (12.28 ± 0.47 g/L vs. 9.16 ± 0.41 g/L; P < 0.001). The intervention group also showed significantly improved red blood cell morphology (lower MCV, P < 0.001; lower RDW, P < 0.001; higher HCT, P < 0.001), changes in IL-2 and IL-6 levels suggesting an immune response difference (higher IL-2, P < 0.001; lower IL-6, P < 0.001), superior QoL scores across all WHOQOL domains (psychological, social, environmental, physical; all P < 0.001), reduced depressive (CES-D, P < 0.001) and anxiety symptoms (SAS, P < 0.001), and significantly higher patient satisfaction (P < 0.001).
conclusionImplementing a continuous comprehensive nursing system after CABG significantly benefits postoperative recovery, leading to improved hemoglobin levels, favorable red blood cell indices, measurable changes in immune markers, enhanced quality of life, improved mental health outcomes, and greater patient satisfaction compared to routine care. These findings suggest CCN is a promising strategy to optimize post-CABG patient outcomes.
