1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Traumatic amputations significantly affect physical function, coping, and self-esteem, highlighting the need for comprehensive rehabilitation and holistic nursing care. The study aims to assess the functional disability, coping strategies, and self-esteem of patients with upper or lower limb amputation. Methodology: Overall, 250 subjects were recruited from various departments and their services for this cross-sectional correlational study. Data was collected using standardized tools such as the WHODAS 2.0 - 36 Item questionnaire (α=0.98), Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-SF21 (α=0.81), and Rosenberg's Self-esteem scale (α=0.88) by using a researcher-administered method. Descriptive and Inferential statistics were used for analysis. Results: The findings revealed that 240 (96%) had a severe functional disability, 140 (56%) had a medium level of coping, and 200 (80%) had average self-esteem. Severe functional difficulty 180 (72%) was seen in participation. The majority had a medium level of avoidance coping 140 (56%). Correlation analysis showed a moderate negative association between functional disability and coping strategies (r = -0.514, p < 0.001), a weak negative association between functional disability and self-esteem (r = -0.140, p = 0.027), and a weak-to-moderate negative association between coping strategies and self-esteem (r = -0.280, p < 0.001). These findings indicate statistically significant associations among functional disability, coping strategies, and self-esteem. Conclusion: The study reveals a deeper connection between functional disability, coping strategies, and self-esteem among amputated patients, pressing the critical need for targeted nursing assessments and strategic interventions.
