Impact of Self-Management Education on Self-care Behaviors, Quality of Life and, Readmission in Heart Failure Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in International journal of community based nursing and midwifery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent chronic condition that requires ongoing self-management. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of mobile videocast-based self-management education on self-care behaviors, quality of life, and hospital readmission in patients with HF. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted from December 2019 to January 2021, involving 38 patients with HF who were referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran. Participants were allocated to control (n=19) and intervention (n=19) groups using block randomization. Demographic data form, the nine-item European Heart Failure Self-care Behavior scale, the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, and a form to record readmission were used for data collection. Both groups received routine care; additionally, the intervention group received four weekly videocasts. Self-care behaviors and quality of life were measured in the baseline and two months after completion of the intervention. The readmission occurrence was checked two months after completing the intervention. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Fisher's exact test, Paired t-test, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS version 25. In all tests, p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Data from 35 participants (18 control, 17 intervention) were analyzed. Post-intervention, a statically significant difference was observed in self-care behavior scores (Intervention: 17.70±4.51 vs. Control: 27.66±8.19; P=0.001) and quality of life scores (Intervention: 20.76±14.63 vs. Control: 42.00±24.32; P=0.004). During the two-month follow-up, 27.78% of the control group patients were hospitalized compared to none in the intervention group (RR 2.30, 95% CI: 1.53-3.47). Conclusion: Self-management education in patients with HF via videocasts can improve self-care, quality of life, and lower readmission rates in these patients. Accordingly, the use of videocast-based self-management education is recommended as a supportive strategy to improve self-care and quality of life and potentially reduce readmission rates.
