A Qualitative Study of the Values, Needs, and Preferences of Patients Regarding Stroke Care: The ValueCare Study.

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
Introduction: An in-depth understanding of patient perspectives contributes to high-quality, value-based health care. The aim of this study was to explore the values, needs, and preferences of stroke patients across the continuum of care. Methods: We performed a qualitative study, as part of the larger ValueCare study, involving 36 patients who have had ischemic stroke within the past 18 months at the time of recruitment. Data were collected between December 2020 and April 2021 via one-to-one telephone interviews. All interviews were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. The interview data were analysed using a thematic approach. Results: The analysis resulted in five themes: (1) patients' values about health care, (2) information and education, (3) psychological support, (4) follow-up care, and (5) continuity and coordination of care. Patients valued a compassionate professional who is responsive to their needs. Furthermore, patients indicated a need for tailored health information, psychosocial services, pro-active follow-up care and improved coordination of care. Discussion and conclusion: Stroke patients emphasised the need for tailored information, psychological support, pro-active follow-up, and improved coordination of care. It is advocated for professionals to use a value-based care approach in order to satisfy the individual needs of patients with regard to information, communication, and follow-up care.
