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

The quality of life (QoL) is now recognised as a central indicator of the effectiveness of interventions especially in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). The QoL may be important predict poor outcomes in cardiac patients.The present work aims to increase knowledge of the level of QoL in patients after MI. Moreover, the paper analyses the QoL in relation to sociodemographic factors and the degree of functioning in chronic disease. The study was conducted among 231 patients who were hospitalized due to MI within the period of June 2021 to June 2022 in the Hospital in Racibórz in Poland. The WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Chronic Disease Functioning Scale were used. The analysis showed a statistically significant correlation (coefficient value 0.5 <|r/rho|≤ 0.7) between general functioning in chronic disease and the average QoL (rho = 0.56; p < 0.001)and somatic QoL levels(rho = 0.52; p < 0.001), as well as a moderately strong positive correlation with the QoL level on the psychological domain (rho = 0.50; p < 0.001), social domain(rho = 0.48; p < 0.001) and environmental domain (rho = 0.43; p < 0.001). The results of this study suggested that healthcare workers adopts appropriate policies for the implementation of quality of life, which can reduce the number of repetitive referrals to the hospital and costs imposed on the health system.
