Effects of home disease management strategies based on the dyadic illness management theory on elderly patients with chronic heart failure and informal caregivers' physical and psychological outcomes: 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
Objective: The purpose of our study was to consider elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and informal caregivers as a unit of intervention and to explore the effectiveness of a program developed based on dyadic illness management theory in improving their physical and psychological health. Methods: In this single-center randomized controlled trial, 80 dyads of elderly CHF patients and their informal caregivers were randomly assigned (1:1) to an intervention group receiving a 3-month home-based disease management program or a control group receiving usual care. Data on primary outcome (patient QoL) and secondary outcomes (e.g., patient self-management, readmission, depression, and caregiver burden) were collected at baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention (T1), and 3 months post-intervention (T2). Results: At both T1 and T2, patients in the intervention group showed significantly better outcomes than controls in QoL, readmission rates, self-care behaviors, and depression incidence (all Conclusion: The home-based, dyadically-focused disease management program significantly improved both physical and psychological health outcomes for elderly CHF patients and their caregivers. And substantially increasing improvements in patients' QoL.
