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
backgroundChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Many patients with COPD lack the necessary skills to manage their condition independently, often due to insufficient health literacy. This deficiency leads to frequent re-hospitalizations and decreased quality of life. Implementing interventions to address these factors is essential, with the self-management promotion model being a particularly effective approach for chronic patients. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the impact of implementing care based on the self-management promotion model on health literacy levels among patients with COPD attending Shahrekord teaching hospitals in 2024.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the impact of implementing care based on the self-management promotion model on health literacy levels among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease attending Shahrekord teaching hospitals in 2024.
methodsThis semiexperimental study involved 70 patients with COPD at educational hospital afield to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Participants were selected gradually based on study criteria, and random assignment divided them into control and intervention groups, with 35 individuals in each group. In addition to routine care, the intervention group received a self-management enhancement program consisting of eight in-person and virtual sessions. Patients completed demographic questionnaires and health literacy assessments at the study's commencement, immediately postintervention, and 2 months later. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 21 software. KEY
resultsThe average age of participants was 57.19 ± 11.2 years. Three months' postintervention, a significant improvement in health literacy scores was noted in the intervention group (
conclusionThe findings of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the self-management promotion model intervention in enhancing health literacy among patients with COPD. Consequently, implementing this model is recommended as a valuable component of chronic patient empowerment programs. Additionally, the inclusion of patients' families was identified as a positive factor contributing to improved health literacy and self-care in this patient population.
