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
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the factors influencing medication discrepancies in elderly patients with coronary heart disease during the hospital-to-home transition through qualitative interviews. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative research design. Purposive sampling was employed. Between March and September 2025, we conducted face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with sixteen elderly patients with coronary heart disease who had experienced medication discrepancies within one week after hospital discharge. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and subjected to content analysis guided by the Health Ecology Model. Results: Five themes and twelve subthemes were identified: 1) Personal Characteristics, 2) Behavioral Characteristics, 3) Interpersonal Networks, 4) Living and Working Conditions, and 5) Policy Conditions. Conclusion: Elderly patients with coronary heart disease face challenges with medication discrepancies during the hospital-to-home transition period, influenced by factors at the individual, interpersonal, community, and policy levels. Future research should focus on this critical and vulnerable phase to develop personalized interventions for this population. Strategies such as the teach-back method and encouraging patient involvement in medication decision-making may help improve medication safety.
