Effects of medagogy-based health literacy enhancement on self-management behaviors and functional capacity among older persons with chronic heart failure: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 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
Background: Appropriate self-management behaviors and good functional capacity are crucial to reduce complications in older persons with chronic heart failure. Health literacy and transformative learning can be used in health education to motivate health behavior change, but limited research has examined their effects on health literacy for self-management behaviors and functional capacity in older persons with chronic heart failure. Objective: To investigate the effect of medagogy-based health literacy enhancement on self-management behaviors and functional capacity in older persons with chronic heart failure. Methods: This assessor and statistician-blinded, randomized controlled trial involved 70 older persons with chronic heart failure attending a heart clinic at a hospital in central Thailand. Permuted block randomization with a block size of four was employed to assign the participants to either the experimental group ( Results: After the program, significant time and group interaction effects were found for self-management behavior ( Conclusion: The program led to improved short-term self-management behaviors and functional capacity. It can be used by nurses as a structured, patient-centered health education to promote older people's self-management and functional capacity. However, multi-site and longitudinal follow-ups are recommended for future studies. Trial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20250908004).
