The effectiveness of nurse led health guidance in improving self-management skills, disease awareness, and quality of life for outpatient patients.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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: The growing burden of chronic diseases like asthma necessitates effective self-management strategies to improve patient outcomes. Despite advancements in asthma treatment, many patients struggle with disease awareness and self-management, leading to impaired quality of life. Nurse-led health guidance has shown potential in enhancing patient education and management across chronic conditions, but its specific impact on outpatient asthma management remains under-researched. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated 159 stable asthma outpatients from January 2021 to January 2023 at Yongkang First People's Hospital. Participants were divided into a control group ( Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Post-intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in health literacy (NVS, TOFHLA, HLS-EU, eHEALS scores), self-care abilities, and disease awareness (AKQ scores) compared to controls after adjusting for baseline values and potential confounders ( Conclusion: Nurse-led health guidance is associated with substantially improved self-management skills, disease awareness, and quality of life in asthma outpatients, underscoring its potential value in chronic disease management. Future prospective randomized studies are warranted to confirm these findings.
