Increased motivation for and use of digital services in heart failure patients participating in a telerehabilitation program: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in mHealth, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03388918 (Future Patient - Telerehabilitation of Heart Failure Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

Abstract
Background: eHealth literacy (eHL) may be an important factor in the adoption of telerehabilitation. However, little is known about how telerehabilitation affects patients' eHL. The current study evaluated changes over time in eHL for heart failure (HF) patients in a telerehabilitation program (the Future Patient Program) compared to a traditional rehabilitation program. Methods: As part of a randomized controlled trial comparing telerehabilitation with traditional rehabilitation, 137 HF patients completed the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) at 6 and 12 months of their respective rehabilitation programs. Results: At 6 months, the telerehabilitation group indicated higher levels of 'using technology to process health information' and 'motivated to engage with digital services'. This difference was consistent over time, and we found no other differences between groups or over time with regard to eHL. Conclusions: Providing a digital toolbox for processing health information to HF patients may aid in increasing their eHL, motivation, and ability to engage with digital services in HF patients. Especially, if the technology is designed to support patient needs in terms of the educational content of the program. Preferably technology should be provided early on in the rehabilitation process to ensure optimal outcome. Trial Registration: The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03388918).
