Factors Affecting the Acceptance of Telehealth Services by Heart Failure Patients: An Integrative Review.
Review in Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
backgroundWhile telehealth has been shown to improve heart failure patients' health outcomes, patients' acceptance of telehealth at the point of referral is reported to be low. Little is known about the factors related to patients' initial acceptance or refusal of telehealth services. The aim of this review was to synthesize evidence on the factors affecting heart failure patients' decision making to accept telehealth services in a home setting.
methodsAn integrative literature review was conducted. Six electronic databases and three grey literature sites were searched. Two reviewers independently reviewed articles for inclusion. Articles were included if they reported original data related to the acceptance of telehealth services among heart failure patients at home.
resultsFive studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Key findings indicated that patients generally hold positive views about telehealth. Factors that may affect the adoption of telehealth include concerns over equipment or technology, concerns over service change, ease-of-use, knowledge of the benefits of telehealth, access to care, cost, and privacy.
conclusionsDespite evidence of effectiveness for telehealth, there is a high rate of telehealth refusal among patients. Understanding factors associated with heart failure patients' decisions regarding telehealth can help healthcare organizations structure education programs and other interventions to improve acceptance rates.
