Patient Perceptions of a Digitally Enabled Community Health Worker Intervention: Qualitative Study Among Pilot Trial Participants.
Trial report in JMIR cardio, 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
Background: Most studies assessing digital interventions for people with heart failure (HF) focus on clinical outcomes, and few include patient perspectives. Understanding patient experiences of the use of a digital HF platform along with community health worker (CHW) care as part of a digitally enabled CHW intervention can inform management of HF at home and improve the postdischarge phase of care. Objective: This study aimed to identify patient perceptions related to the use of a digitally enabled CHW intervention. Methods: This qualitative study included interviews with adults (aged ≥18 years) with HF who were assigned to the intervention arm of a pilot randomized controlled trial from September 2022 to June 2023. For 30 days after hospital discharge, intervention participants were paired with a CHW and instructed to use a digital platform that tracked biometrics (eg, heart rate, oxygenation, blood pressure, body weight, steps taken, and symptoms) and offered educational videos. In-depth interviews were conducted after the 30-day intervention was complete (between 31 and 45 days after hospital discharge). Key interview domains included barriers and facilitators to the intervention, use of remote monitoring in HF, and the role of CHWs in HF home care. Results: Interviews with participants (N=19; mean age 62.1, SD 15.1 years) yielded five key themes: (1) the combined intervention was well received, and CHWs made the use of the digital platform more approachable; (2) the digital platform enhanced HF knowledge and confidence in self-care; (3) digital platform use was easy to integrate into daily routines; (4) in addition to assisting with navigation of unmet social needs (eg, transportation, insurance benefits, and food access), CHWs provided emotional support and increased motivation for clinical care plan adherence and platform use; and (5) connectivity issues and other technical challenges occurred with digital platform use. Conclusions: The digital platform was easily integrated into patients' daily routines. CHWs played a key role in making the platform more approachable for participant use. Further research is needed to better understand the impact of this intervention in larger HF populations over more extended time intervals.
