HeartCareII: patients' use of a home care web resource.
Trial report in Studies in health technology and informatics, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In a six-month randomized field experiment our team evaluated the impact of a technology-enhanced practice (TEP) model compared to the usual care delivered by home care nurses. Research staff provided computers and technical assistance; home care visit nurses trained patients in the use of the components of the HeartCareII website most relevant to their care needs. The purpose of this paper is to explore participant exposure to the web-based HeartCareII resources, the technical core of the TEP. To assess exposure to the HeartCareII resources we counted logins, the number of accesses to the system, over each participant's study period. We determined that more logins occurred during the first four weeks of the participants' time in the study, with 50 percent continuing to logon after 4 weeks. The number of participants accessing the system declined during the ensuing weeks to approximately one-third at eight weeks; almost 15 percent consistently logged in throughout their 24-week course in the experiment. This pattern of exposure to such web-based resources is consistent with findings of prior studies; it may support an episodic need for health resources in the home based on changing health demands.
