Non-pharmacological nursing interventions in patients with myocardial infarction: a systematic review.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 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: Multiple interventions have been implemented with varying degrees of effectiveness. A comprehensive analysis is necessary to evaluate and characterize the efficacy of each intervention. This study aimed to examine the impact of non-pharmacological nursing interventions on patients with myocardial infarction. Methods: A literature search was conducted across five databases: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and MEDLINE. Each database was last searched on May 13, 2024. The PICO (population, intervention, comparator, and outcome) approach was used to create a comprehensive and well-structured research question. The quality of the studies included was assessed using the critical appraisal tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Results: This review included 52 studies. A total of eighteen distinct non-pharmacological interventions were assessed to evaluate their efficacy in improving outcomes for patients with myocardial infarction. The findings of this review highlight that various types of nursing interventions can, to some extent, impact patient outcomes. Regarding intervention types, telephone follow-up/remote management were used in 8 studies; psychological interventions in 8 studies; nursing care pathways in 8 studies; rehabilitation nursing care in 4 studies; home-care nursing in 4 studies; exercise nursing care and evidence-based nursing in 3 studies each; nurse-led individualized self-management program, educational interventions, and targeted nursing care in 2 studies each; and structured team nursing model, whole-course nursing care, acupressure, spiritual nursing care, systematic nursing care, high-quality nursing, ice bag application, and music intervention were each reported in 1 study. Regarding outcome types, death/complications/readmission were investigated in 16 studies; quality of life (QOL) in 12 studies; cardiac function in 14 studies; anxiety/depression/stress in 6 studies; adherence in 2 studies; and pain in 2 studies. The studies were predominantly limited in scale and demonstrated substantial variability in the types of interventions implemented as well as in the outcomes assessed. Furthermore, most of the included studies were rated as moderate to low quality. Conclusions: The findings of this review highlight that non-pharmacological nursing interventions can, to some extent, impact patient outcomes. However, due to the methodological constraints, the results should be interpreted with prudence. Further investigation employing larger sample sizes and improved methodological rigor is necessary to more conclusively ascertain the effectiveness of these nursing interventions.
