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
introductionPatients with cardiovascular disease undergoing surgery commonly experience psychological distress, including anxiety, depression, and fear of mortality, which may negatively influence surgical outcomes and recovery. However, mental health support for patients with cardiovascular disease remains unprioritized in many healthcare systems, particularly in middle-income countries such as Kazakhstan, where mental health services are still fragmented and underdeveloped.
objectiveThis study aims to explore and describe the mental health promotion strategies employed by nurses when caring for preoperative patients with cardiovascular disease.
designThis study employed an exploratory-descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 13 nurses working in cardiac surgery units in Kazakhstan from February 3 to April 10, 2025. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study was conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines.
resultInitially, 96 codes were generated from the data. These codes were subsequently organized into 19 subthemes and further synthesized into four major themes: "Patient Emotional Support Needs," "Mental Health Implementation Strategies," "Challenges to Mental Health Promotion," and "Influencing Factors in Mental Health Promotion."
conclusionNurses play a pivotal role in promoting the mental health and psychological well-being of patients with cardiovascular disease, with therapeutic communication and professional presence serving as fundamental components of holistic care. In Kazakhstan, this responsibility also requires adapting nursing management strategies to culturally grounded perspectives on mental health, thereby ensuring the delivery of compassionate, culturally sensitive, and comprehensive care that extends beyond physical recovery.
