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

backgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely used to restore coronary perfusion and improve cardiac outcomes; however, post-procedural management plays a crucial role in ensuring long-term recovery and preventing recurrent cardiovascular events. Continuous nursing, as an extended and structured follow-up model after hospital discharge, may improve patients' quality of life, psychological well-being, and self-management ability. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous nursing on the prognosis and overall outcomes of patients with CHD after PCI.

methodsA comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, CQVIP, and CBM databases up to December 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing continuous nursing with conventional care in CHD patients after PCI were included. Data were analyzed using STATA 15.1 software, and outcomes were summarized as standardized mean difference (SMD) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

resultsFourteen RCTs involving 1,463 participants were included. Compared with conventional care, continuous nursing significantly improved quality of life (WMD = 12.34, 95% CI: 8.79-15.88, I

conclusionContinuous care effectively improves quality of life, psychological status, cardiac function, and treatment compliance in patients with CHD following PCI. It also reduces anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular complications, thereby promoting better long-term prognosis. These findings support the clinical implementation of structured continuous nursing programs as a key component of comprehensive CHD management after PCI.
