The effect of distance empowerment program on the sense of coherence among multiple sclerosis patients: A quasi-experimental 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
backgroundThere is no definitive cure for multiple sclerosis, and symptom control is a crucial part of treatment. This study aimed to determine the effect of distance empowerment programs on the sense of coherence in patients with multiple sclerosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a quasi-experimental study conducted on 64 multiple sclerosis patients from the Saveh MS Association in 2020. Participants were randomly divided into control (32) and intervention groups (32). The intervention group participated in a distance empowerment program with weekly telephone follow-ups for 2 months. Patients' sense of coherence was evaluated before and after the program using Antonovsky's Multiple Sclerosis sense of coherence scale and analyzed with SPSS software version 23.
resultsThe mean score of sense of coherence in the intervention group after the implementation of the empowerment program was 68.93 ± 9.99, which showed a statistically significant difference compared to before the intervention (
conclusionsDistance empowerment affects the sense of coherence of patients with multiple sclerosis and has led to an increase in sense of coherence scores after the empowerment program.
