Implementing the MIRROR-TCM Randomised Control Trial During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed-Methods Evaluation.
Trial report in Journal of advanced nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04212962 (Evaluation of the Multisite Replication of the Transitional Care Model), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimTo evaluate the implementation of the Transitional Care Model (TCM), an evidence-based, advanced practice registered nurse-led multi-component intervention, as part of a randomised controlled trial during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
designParallel convergent mixed-methods approach.
methodsData for this study were collected between June 2020 and February 2021. Data from 78 patients who received the intervention and 68 recorded meetings with system leaders and clinical teams were analysed using descriptive statistics, directed content analysis, and joint display.
resultsFidelity to delivery of elements of the TCM components was variable, with the Hospital-to-Home visit elements having the widest range (14.3%-100%) and Maintaining Relationships elements having the highest range (97.3%-98.6%). There were 27 identified challenges and 15 strategies for implementing the TCM with fidelity during the pandemic.
conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of the delivery of the TCM across all sites. This historical event highlighted the need for services and support for patients and caregivers transitioning from the hospital to home. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND PATIENT CARE: Evidence-based solutions are needed to enhance healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Findings will guide nurses in implementing proven transitional care interventions. IMPACT: Findings will inform the implementation and scaling of transitional care and other evidence-based interventions across diverse healthcare settings. REPORTING
