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
aimTo investigate self-care behaviors and their associated factors in adult patients with congenital heart disease.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsThis study was conducted among 225 adult patients with congenital heart disease. Data on demographic characteristics, self-care behaviors, knowledge of congenital heart disease, social support, and self-efficacy were collected. Multiple linear regression was used to explore factors associated with self-care behaviors.
resultThe mean scores for self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management were 63.87 ± 9.19, 55.30 ± 13.64, and 83.99 ± 11.67, respectively. Using a cutoff score of 70 for adequate self-care, 27.1%, 15.1%, and 83.6% of participants achieved adequate levels in maintenance, monitoring, and management, respectively. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that classification of congenital heart disease complexity (B = 1.867, 95% CI [0.427-3.307],
conclusionsChinese adult congenital heart disease patients showed poor self-care maintenance and monitoring behaviors despite their adequate self-care management behaviors. Disease knowledge, social support, and self-efficacy may affect self-care behaviors in patients with congenital heart disease.
