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

backgroundHospitalization is a common and stressful experience that often leads to emotional distress, including anxiety and uncertainty, highlighting the need for comprehensive psychological support. It can negatively affect patients' well-being and their ability to cope with illness, underscoring the importance of addressing patients' emotional and psychosocial needs.

objectiveTo explore the need of support and guidance among hospitalized patients and associated factors.

methodsIn the present cross-sectional study, 121 hospitalized patients were enrolled. Data collection was carried out by interview method, using the scale "Needs of hospitalized patients with coronary artery disease scale", which included patient characteristics. In the present study, the subscale "need for support and guidance" was explored. The level of statistical significance was set to p<0.05.

resultsAge (p=0.001), marital status (p=0.001), occupation (p=0.003), the presence of comorbidity (p=0.001), urinary catheter use (p=0.001), previous hospitalization (p=0.001), and uncertainty regarding care after discharge (p=0.001), were found to be statistically significantly associated with need for support and guidance.

conclusionDemographic and clinical characteristics are associated with the importance of support and guidance among hospitalized patients. In depth understanding of this need is expected to contribute to implementation of effective patient-centered care.
