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.

Abstract

Poor self-care behaviors can lead to an increase in the risk of adverse health outcomes among patients with heart failure. Although a number of studies have investigated the effectiveness of nurse-led self-care education, the evidence regarding the effects of nurse-led intervention in heart failure remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate evidence on the effectiveness of nurse-led heart failure self-care education on health outcomes in patients with heart failure. To identify studies testing nurse-led education designed to improve self-care among heart failure patients, comprehensive search methods were used between January 2000 and October 2019 to systematically search six electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and SCOPUS. All the eligible study data elements were independently assessed and analyzed using random-effects meta-analysis methods. Of 612 studies, eight articles were eligible for this study. Nurse-led heart failure self-care education significantly reduced the risk of all-cause readmission (risk ratio (RR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.66-0.85), heart failure specific readmission (RR = 0.60, 95% CI = 0.42-0.85), and all-cause mortality or readmission (RR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.61-0.82). However, nurse-led heart failure self-care education was not associated with improvements in the quality of life and heart failure knowledge. Studies on the effectiveness of nurse-led heart failure self-care education mostly report only the positive effects on patients' health outcomes, whereas evidence of the effectiveness of the nurse-led approach is still limited. Therefore, high quality randomized controlled trials with detailed and explicit descriptions on the components of the interventions are needed.
