Self-care and fatigue in individuals hospitalized with decompensated heart failure during the covid-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study.

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
to determine the association between self-care and fatigue in patients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure during the COVID-19 pandemic. observational, cross-sectional study involving 132 individuals hospitalized in a university hospital. Data were collected through individual interviews and medical record reviews. Self-care was evaluated using the Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, while fatigue was measured using the Fatigue Pictogram, both of which had been previously validated for use in Brazil. Scores of 70 or higher indicated adequate self-care in the domains of Management, Maintenance and Confidence. most participants were men (n = 73; 55.3%), had a low educational level (n = 98; 74.2%), lived with a spouse and/or children (n = 77; 58.4%) and had a mean age of 62.3 years (standard deviation = 28.7). Inadequate self-care for heart failure was observed in the Maintenance (n = 109; 82.6%), Management (n = 81; 61.8%) and Confidence (n = 57; 48.3%) subscales. In the week before hospitalization, participants reported experiencing fatigue-related exhaustion and limitations. No statistically significant association was found between fatigue intensity or impact and the self-care subscales. during the pandemic, although fatigue was prevalent among participants before hospitalization due to clinical decompensation of heart failure, it was not associated with self-care for the condition.
