Effects of discharge education program on recovery and quality of life after cardiac surgery: a 12 week follow-up single-blind randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05631340 (The Effects Of Discharge Education Program On Recovery And Quality Of Life After Cardiac Surgery), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
aimsIn the contemporary era of rapid societal and technological advancement, factors such as sedentary lifestyles, environmental pollution, unhealthy dietary habits, consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, tobacco and alcohol use, and the growing prevalence of comorbid conditions associated with these risk factors have contributed to cardiovascular diseases becoming one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Among the therapeutic interventions for cardiovascular diseases, open-heart surgery remains one of the principal treatment modalities, as it is associated with superior symptom control, enhanced quality of life, and improved long-term survival outcomes compared with medical management alone. Beside the surgical intervention one of the main components determining the outcomes of the surgery is the patient education therefore this study was conducted to determine the effect of discharge education provided after cardiac surgery on recovery and quality of life. METHODS AND
resultsThis research was conducted as a randomized pretest-posttest controlled study to determine the effects of discharge education after cardiac surgery on recovery and quality of life. The study was conducted between March 2022 and July 2023, in two Training and Research Hospitals with 70 inpatients. The data of the study were collected face to face and via telephone calls using the 'Patient's Personal Information Form', 'Multidimensional Index of Life Quality-MILQ-TR', 'Quality of Recovery - 40 Questionnaire-QOR-40' and 'Telephone Follow-Up Form'. According to this study's results, the recovery quality level and the quality of life of the patients in the intervention group was significantly higher than the patients in the control group.
conclusionAccording to the results of the study, which was evaluated at a 95% confidence interval and a significance level below p < 0.05; the quality of recovery and quality of life of the intervention group patients were statistically higher, the complications were fewer, and the level of knowledge was higher.
