Current Status and Associated Factors of Discharge Readiness in Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 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
This study investigated the current readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) among patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) following endovascular revascularization within an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) model and analyzed its associated factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a large tertiary hospital in China. A total of 200 lower extremity PAD patients was conducted between December 2024 and August 2025. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the RHD Scale, and the Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale. The total score for RHD was 92.31 ± 16.10, and the total score for discharge teaching quality was 166.16 ± 18.72. The RHD score was positively correlated with the discharge teaching quality score (r = 0.400, p < 0.001). Marital status, education level, residence, number of comorbidities, length of stay, Fontaine's stage, and discharge teaching quality were identified as factors significantly correlated with RHD. The findings indicate that overall RHD in lower extremity PAD patients undergoing endovascular revascularization treatment is moderate, suggesting that the quality of discharge guidance requires further enhancement. Medical professionals should assess the quality of discharge teaching and RHD levels in order to take targeted intervention measures. Establishing a transitional care team and implementing long-term care management is crucial for reducing the rate of unplanned readmission.
