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: Psychological well-being is a critical component of disease management and recovery in patients with cardiovascular disorders. Cognitive flexibility, as a key psychological determinant, significantly influences adaptive functioning and health-related outcomes. Self-regulation skills training has recently gained attention as an effective approach to enhancing mental health in individuals with chronic illnesses. This study aimed to assess the effect of a self-regulation skills training program on improving cognitive flexibility among patients with heart failure. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 69 hospitalized patients with heart failure who were randomly assigned to an intervention group ( Results: The findings demonstrated a significant time × group interaction for total cognitive flexibility scores (F [2,66] = 16.66, Conclusions: The findings suggest that self-regulation skills training may serve as an effective intervention for enhancing cognitive flexibility and supporting the psychological well-being of patients with heart failure.
