Impact of evidence-based nursing intervention based on Watson's theory on rehabilitation compliance in elderly patients after intertrochanteric femur fracture surgery.

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: The study aimed to unveil the impact of evidence-based nursing (EBN) based on Watson's theory on rehabilitation compliance in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial design was adopted. Eighty elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures were randomly divided into a control group (received routine intervention), and an observation group (received EBN intervention based on Watson's theory), with 40 cases in each group. Pain levels were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 3 days, 7 days, and 1 month post-surgery. Postoperative outcomes, including weight-bearing walking time, fracture healing time, and hospital stay, were compared. Quality of life was evaluated using the WHOQOL-BREF. Rehabilitation adherence was assessed based on training content, duration, intensity, initiative, and completion. Patient satisfaction with care was measured using a custom satisfaction survey. Harris Hip Score (HHS) was adopted to assess joint function recovery. Complications were recorded for both groups. Results: The observation group had significantly lower VAS scores ( Conclusion: EBN based on Watson's theory in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures can reduce postoperative pain and complications, improve hip joint function, enhance quality of life, and result in better postoperative recovery, with overall significant effectiveness.
