A roy adaptation model-based care program and its impact on quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS), a clinical manifestation of chronic coronary artery disease, is often associated with multiple complications, recurrent hospitalizations, and diminished quality of life. Evaluating quality of life is a key outcome for determining the effectiveness of clinical and educational interventions. This study examined the impact of a care program grounded in the Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) on the quality of life of patients with ACS.
methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 76 patients with ACS were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Data collection took place from July to December 2024. Participants in the intervention arm received a twoweek educational care program grounded in the Roy Adaptation Model, delivered through inperson sessions and supplemented with an instructional booklet. Data were gathered using a demographic survey, the SF36 qualityoflife instrument, and the Roy Adaptation Model assessment form, which were administered at baseline and at one and three months following the intervention.
resultsIndependent ttests revealed no significant preintervention differences in physical, mental, or overall qualityoflife scores between the groups. Following the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements. Repeatedmeasures ANOVA confirmed significant main effects of time and timebygroup interaction. Subscale analysis demonstrated significant improvements in seven of the eight SF36 domains in the intervention group. In contrast, the control group exhibited a significant improvement only in general health.
conclusionThe Roy Adaptation Model provides an effective framework for fostering adaptation and enhancing quality of life in cardiac patients.
