The impact of adherence on costs and effectiveness of telemedical patient management in heart failure: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Applied clinical informatics, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis paper analyzes evidence of the impact of patients' adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological recommendations on the treatment costs of heart failure (HF) patients.
methodsA systematic review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Papers were searched using various combinations of the following keywords: 'telemedicine', 'telemonitoring', 'telehealth', 'eHealth', 'remote monitoring', 'adherence', 'compliance', 'cost-effectiveness', 'cost-benefit', 'heart failure', 'healthcare costs', 'hospitalization', and 'drug costs'. We included only papers written in English or German, published between 1998 and 2014, and having one of our search terms in the title.
resultsInitially, 73 papers were selected. After a detailed review, these were narrowed done to 9 that reported an association between adherence and/or compliance and costs. However, none established a quantitative relationship between adherence and total healthcare costs.
conclusionA model-based cost-effectiveness analysis that appropriately considers adherence has not been carried out so far, but is needed to fully understand the potential economic benefits of telehealth.
