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
backgroundSince chronic heart failure would cause various physical outcomes and limitations, it could create significant changes in the mental status of the patients. One of the problems among these patients is increased stress levels. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of a program for improving positive skills on perceived stress among patients with chronic heart failure. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe present randomized clinical trial was conducted on 72 chronic heart failure patients who were hospitalized at Chamran Medical Center of Isfahan. The samples were selected using available sampling from patients and meeting the inclusion criteria. Then the samples were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. A positive skill improvement program was performed for the intervention group during 6 sessions. Data gathering tools included demographic characteristics form and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). This questionnaire was completed by the patients before, right after, and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS software 22 and descriptive and inferential statistical tests.
resultsResults showed no significant difference between the intervention and the control groups regarding the mean score of perceived stress and its dimensions before the intervention (
conclusionIt is recommended that similar interventions be conducted for hospitalized patients by the nurses.
