Effectiveness of an educational program on adherence and quality of life in patients with heart failure.

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
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of an educational program on therapeutic adherence, quality of life, and satisfaction in heart failure patients treated at the nursing clinic. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental, longitudinal, and prospective study was conducted with 42 patients treated at the National Cardiovascular Institute (INCOR-EsSalud). The intervention included five in-person educational sessions. Therapeutic adherence was assessed using the Morisky-Green test, and quality of life was assessed using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) before and after the intervention. Pre-post comparisons were performed using McNemar's test Results: . In 42 patients, adherence according to the Morisky-Green test was 47.6% at baseline (20/42) and 83.3% post-intervention (35/42) (McNemar p=0.001). In the paired matrix, 18 patients improved from non-adherent to adherent, and 3 improved from adherent to non-adherent. In the MLHFQ, the "good" category was 26.2% at baseline (11/42) and 69.1% post-intervention (29/42); the "poor" category decreased from 7.1% (3/42) to 0%. 100% reported high satisfaction. Conclusions: . The nurse-led educational program was associated with a significant improvement in therapeutic adherence and quality of life in patients with heart failure. Participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the educational intervention and the care received. These findings suggest that the program is a viable and accepted strategy for strengthening self-care in this population.
