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
Objectives: Patients undergoing hemodialysis encounter a wide range of complex challenges, underscoring the essential role of self-care in disease management. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an educational intervention grounded in Orem's self-care model for enhancing treatment adherence, self-care behaviors, and quality of life among hemodialysis patients in southern Iran. Methods: This single-blind randomized controlled trial included 120 hemodialysis patients who met the predetermined eligibility criteria. Data were collected between April 2023 and August 2023 at 2 university-affiliated teaching hospitals located in southern Iran. After providing informed consent, participants were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n=60) or the control group (n=60) through a simple randomization procedure. Three psychometrically robust instruments were used to collect data: the End-Stage Renal Disease Adherence Questionnaire, the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, and the Self-Management Behavior Scale. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 23, and p-values<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: At baseline, no statistically significant differences were observed between the intervention and control groups in the mean scores of the measured variables. However, immediately following the intervention and at the 3-month follow-up, the intervention group demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all 3 variables. Conclusions: The findings underscore the effectiveness of an educational program based on Orem's self-care model in significantly improving self-care behaviors, treatment adherence, and quality of life among hemodialysis patients.
