Implementing the information system for older adult patients post-discharge self-management: a qualitative study.
Article in Age and ageing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundDischarging older adult patients from the hospital poses risks due to their vulnerable conditions, complex instructions and limited health literacy. Insufficient information about medication side effects adds to patient concerns. To address this, a post-discharge information summary system was developed. While it has shown positive impacts, concerns exist regarding implementation fidelity.
objectiveThis study employed a theory-driven approach to understand health providers' perspectives on effective implementation.
methodIndividual semi-structured interviews were conducted via telephone with nurses, doctors and pharmacists from local public hospitals. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was applied for direct content analysis. Belief statements were generated by thematic synthesis under each of the TDF domains.
resultsA total of 98 participants were interviewed. Out of the 49 belief statements covering eight TDF domains, 19 were determined to be highly relevant to the implementation of the post-discharge information summary system. These TDF domains include knowledge, skills, social/professional role and identity, beliefs about consequences, intentions, memory, attention and decision processes, environmental context and resources and social influences.
conclusionOur study contributes to the understanding of determinants in implementing discharge interventions for older adult patients' self-care. Our findings can inform tailored strategies for frontline staff, including aligning programme rationale with stakeholders, promoting staff engagement through co-creation, reinforcing positive programme outcomes and creating default settings. Future research should employ rigorous quantitative designs to examine the actual impact and relationships among these determinants.
