Decision-making Factors Associated With Telehealth Adoption by Patients With Heart Failure at Home: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Computers, informatics, nursing : CIN, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Telehealth has been reported to be effective in helping patients with heart failure manage their symptoms at home. Despite this, the adoption rate for telehealth among home care patients with heart failure is low, and there is limited research on reasons for this. This study was undertaken to explore factors associated with patients' decisions to adopt telehealth at home. A qualitative descriptive study underpinned by the Unified Theory of Acceptance Use of Technology model was conducted using semi-structured telephone interviews with patients with heart failure (N = 20) referred for telehealth. Interviews were analyzed using a mixture of deductive and inductive coding. Among the theoretical model elements, the perceived usefulness of the technology (performance expectancy), the availability of clinical/technical support (facilitating conditions), and the opinion of other individuals important to the patient (social influence) were associated with telehealth initiation. However, the ease of use (effort expectancy) was not an associated factor. Other factors such as experience, knowledge, confidence, satisfaction, and attitudes were also associated with the decision. Identification of factors related to higher telehealth initiation rates can be used to inform individualized care planning by nurses. Knowledge of such associations can inform referral process to improve the efficiency and utilization of telehealth.
