Transitional Care Support for Patients with Heart Failure: A Qualitative Study of Nursing Practices by Ward, Discharge Planning, and Visiting Nurses.
Article in The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 2026. 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
aimThis study explores the nursing practices of transitional care support for patients with heart failure performed by three different groups of nurses: 1) ward, 2) discharge planning, and 3) visiting nurses.
designWe conducted a qualitative, content analysis.
methodsTwelve ward nurses, four discharge planning nurses, and five visiting nurses were purposively sampled. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using content analysis.
resultsWard nurses implemented four practices, including "Encourage patients to improve to prevent re-exacerbations" and "Share information with the home care team." Discharge planning nurses implemented four practices, including "Communicate with the home care team to ensure the continued management of heart failure." Visiting nurses implemented three practices, including "Make efforts to obtain test results and, based on physical signs, symptoms, and the pathological condition, detect signs of heart failure exacerbation."
conclusionIn transitional care support for patients with heart failure, the three different groups of nurses (ward, discharge planning, and visiting) must multilaterally share information on patients' pathological conditions, the progression of test results, and physical reactions during activities, while continuing to provide support for lifestyle adjustments.
