Community Health Worker Perspectives on Home-Based Care and Remote Monitoring in Heart Failure.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHeart failure (HF) affects over 6 million people in the United States and is a frequent cause of hospital readmissions. While interest in individual HF interventions like digital platforms and home-based care delivered by community health workers (CHWs) has risen, few studies have explored barriers and facilitators to engaging CHWs with digital or remote monitoring devices in HF populations.
methodsThree virtual focus groups were conducted from December 2020 to January 2021 with 14 CHWs. Key domains included: barriers and facilitators to managing HF at home; CHW care in HF; remote monitoring and technology in HF; and CHW ability to assist with remote technology in HF.
objectiveTo explore CHW perceptions about managing HF at home relevant to the use of home-based remote monitoring.
findingsFocus groups produced 4 themes: (1) patients with HF struggle to follow clinical care plans at home (i.e., medication adherence, diet, fluid intake); (2) CHWs clarify clinical care plans and provide psychosocial support; (3) CHWs connect patients to resources addressing unmet health-related social needs (e.g., transportation, rental assistance, and other needs); (4) patients face challenges understanding how to use clinician-prescribed technologies for remote monitoring that can be resolved with CHW coaching and instruction.
conclusionsCHWs reported specific ways they were able to assist patients with clinical, social, and clinician-prescribed health-related technology in HF. Partnerships with CHWs are well positioned to add important value to HF home management for clinical care plan adherence and engagement, remote monitoring, and technology use.
