Evaluation of a Specialist Nurse-Led Post-Coronary Heart Disease Support Program: A Prospective Pre-Post Interventional Study.

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
introductionThe impact of multidisciplinary supervised cardiac rehabilitation programs on reducing the risk of having heart problems in the future is well documented. However, little is known about nurse-led post-coronary heart disease (post-CHD). PURPOSE: Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational and counseling-structured nurse-led post-CHD support program by assessing the prediction of psychological, behavioral and dietary variables in relation to adherence to a care plan in a single hospital in Athens (Greece).
methodA prospective follow-up comparative approach in a single group of CHD patients was applied. The structured nurse-led program included eight topics (management of anxiety, physical activity, dietary habits, weight control, smoking cessation, alcohol moderation, family engagement and adherence to a care plan). Participants received tailored nursing interventions focused on psychological and behavioral needs and dietary habits by a CHD-specialized nurse based on patients' medical prescriptions and/or instructions. A modified clinical assessment questionnaire by the European Society of Cardiology was applied to identify pre-post clinical baseline measurements. A nurse-led post-coronary Heart Disease Support Program was evaluated by assessing the predictivity (effect) of specific interventions on adherence to a care plan by employing a logistic regression beta coefficient (Generalized Estimating Equations model).
resultsThe sample consisted of 275 patients (66.2% male), with a mean age of 68.5 ± 12.5 years old. CHD patients presented significantly lower anxiety rates (54.27 [1st m] vs. 49.63 [2nd m],
conclusionOur findings indicate that the nurse-led post-CHD support program was found to be partially feasible and effective in our single-group study, emphasizing the need for effective training and retention strategies to enhance the specialization of nurses providing post-CHD care and support.
