Discharge preparedness in chronic heart failure: a dyadic qualitative study of patient and clinician perspectives.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Chronic heart failure (CHF) in China is characterized by high readmission rates, often linked to suboptimal discharge preparedness. Current discharge planning research predominantly relies on unilateral perspectives-focusing either solely on patient compliance or clinician workflows-thereby failing to capture the critical interactional misalignments that compromise care transitions. This study addresses this gap by employing a dyadic lens to expose the latent discrepancies between clinical priorities and patients' lived realities. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in urban China (November 2024-March 2025). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 CHF patients and 6 cardiovascular clinicians. Data were analyzed using a directed content analysis approach underpinned by Spencer's biomedicalization framework. This theoretical orientation provided a structured methodology to decode the epistemic asymmetries and power dynamics characterizing the discharge process. Results: Four themes emerged: 1) The Disconnect in Medical Understanding (mechanistic misconceptions vs. educational barriers); 2) Fragile Self-Management in Daily Life (symptom-driven adherence vs. monitoring neglect); 3) Socio-Cultural Conflicts in Care (dietary non-compliance and contextual activity barriers); 4) Systemic Gaps in Support (familial support deficits and healthcare system shortfalls). Conclusion: Discharge preparation deficiencies reflect bidirectional misalignments between patients' psychosocially embedded needs and clinicians' biomedical risk focus. An integrated intervention framework is proposed: 1) Patient-tier: Literacy-adapted education co-construction; 2) Family-tier: Caregiver crisis-response training; 3) System-tier: Digitally-enhanced nurse-led care coordination. Keywords: Chronic heart failure, Discharge planning, Health literacy, Patient-centered care, Transitional care.
