Patient Perspectives on Home-Based Care and Remote Monitoring in Heart Failure: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 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
introductionAs individual interventions, home-based care and remote monitoring have been shown to help prevent hospitalizations for those with heart failure (HF) although both interventions have been limited by scalability and technical constraints, respectively. Few qualitative studies have explored patient perspectives, including acceptability, barriers, and facilitators of HF care inclusive of both interventions. The objective of this study is to explore patient perceptions on HF management at home, the use of home-based remote monitoring, and the value of home-based care.
methodsQualitative interviews (N = 27) were conducted via phone (12/2020-3/2021) with adults with HF. A framework analysis was used to identify main themes along with verbatim transcription for coding and analyses. There were 5 key interview domains: general HF knowledge, perceptions of the value of home-based care, unmet needs related to the social determinants of health (SDOH), experience with healthcare technology and remote monitoring, and challenges in HF home management.
resultsFive major themes emerged. Patients reported: (1) home-based care plan instructions are understood; (2) following medication, diet, and fluid management instructions are challenging due to difficult adherence to and implementation at home; (3) financial limitations serve as barriers to acquiring healthy food; (4) home-based support is a valuable component of managing medications, diet, and fluid; (5) despite limited use of technology, strong willingness to use remote monitoring is present amongst most.
conclusionsParticipants reported understanding of care plan instructions and challenges adhering to care plans at home. Barriers included needing more home-based support for medications, diet, and fluid management and requiring additional assistance with financial barriers related to unmet social needs. A combined intervention inclusive of remote monitoring and home-based support has potential to improve home-based strategies and clinical outcomes for HF patients.
