1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The transition from the home-based care model represents an unprecedented revolution in the healthcare industry, with the conventional clinical-based healthcare system being replaced by innovations in digital health. Yet there is no comprehensive analysis that explains how nursing practices, healthcare management, and the digital health domain work together along with the community-based care system. The data in this regard is fragmented. This review summarizes findings on integrating nursing, technology, and management to support chronic care. Methodology: A literature was screened by searching in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using keywords such as "home-based primary care," "nurse-led models," "telehealth," and "digital health equity," with a focus on studies published between 2010 and 2025. The literature was searched for high-quality, peer-reviewed publications in English. The researchers selected 115 papers to conduct their in-depth study based on titles, abstracts, and full text. Results: These studies indicate that the shift from conventional home care methods to digital home care delivery requires nurses to develop digital skills to lead their teams while delivering personalized telehealth services. Nurses play a central role in coordinating care, facilitating patient engagement with effective technological developments that now provide better access to safer systems that enhance quality of life, while management frameworks support execution through policy development and resource allocation. Conclusion: The existing challenges include staff shortages, digital access problems, and obstacles created by existing regulations. Gaps still exist in the long-term cost-effectiveness of digital health, accessibility of resources equally to all areas, and effect of remote care on the relationship of nurses and patients. The field of home care requires resilient and equitable systems that need both predictive analytics and social health factor solutions and ongoing partnerships between different sectors. Home care will depend on nursing leaders with digital skills to ensure that technology helps them provide empathetic patient care.
