Exploring Patients' Experiences of Living With Liver Cirrhosis-Related Ascites and Receiving Follow-Up Care in Nurse-Led Outpatient Clinics.
Article in Global qualitative nursing research. 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
In Europe the incidence of patients living with liver cirrhosis is growing due to increasing alcohol consumption, increased life span and higher body mass index. Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis are a vulnerable group of patients suffering from stigma, negative stereotyping and bodily limitations, needing close follow-up care through a holistic nursing care model. This study aimed to explore patients' experiences of living with cirrhosis-related ascites, and the follow-up care they receive in nurse-led outpatient clinics. A qualitative approach was employed using semi-structured individual interviews and inductive reflexive thematic analysis. Eight interviews were conducted and our analysis generated two major themes: "Coming to terms with the impact of ascites" and "My second home-building partnership roles." The first theme comprised three sub-themes related to dignity, embodied knowledge and loss of energy. The second theme comprised two sub-themes related to continuity of care and patient involvement in their care. The study provides valuable insights on how nurse-led follow-up care, through continuity, availability, commitment, patient education and patient involvement may relieve the anxiety and distress this patient group may experience due to having a serious disease with an unpredictable trajectory.
