Comparative Systematic Review of Telehealth Delivery Models, Intervention Content, and Outcomes in Heart Failure Care.
Review in Patient preference and adherence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Heart failure management remains challenging due to limited self-care and prevalent depressive symptoms, with telehealth emerging as an effective approach to strengthen disease management and enhance patients' quality of life. However, studies that specifically explore models, intervention content, and the broader benefits of telehealth in HF management are still limited. Purpose: This systematic review aimed to compare and synthesize different telehealth delivery models, intervention content, and associated outcomes in the management of patients with heart failure. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Taylor & Francis, and Springer Nature, with a focus on randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in English. The article selection process is based on title, abstract, full text, and eligibility criteria, including quality appraisal. Data analysis employed thematic synthesis and descriptive qualitative approaches to categorize interventions, content, and outcomes. Results: The review included 28 studies, evaluating three main telehealth intervention models: (1) telemonitoring, (2) phone call support, and (3) smartphone and web-based applications. Intervention content included symptom and medication monitoring, patient education, empowerment for self-management, reminders and feedback, psychological and social support, and healthcare communication. The study outcomes were categorized into four themes, including clinical outcomes, physical and mental health outcomes, behavioral outcomes, and quality of life. Among these models, phone call support and reminder interventions were most often recommended as practical and feasible approaches, as they are easy to implement, and flexible. Conclusion: This review highlights that while telehealth interventions consistently improve quality of life, their impact on mental health and long-term clinical outcomes remains variable. Integrating support models with phone calls and reminders into routine heart failure management may improve accessibility and continuity of care, particularly for patients requiring ongoing behavioral and emotional support.
