A prospective comparison of remote monitoring systems in implantable cardiac defibrillators: potential effects of frequency of transmissions.
Trial report in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purposeCurrently, cardiac implantable electronic devices allow remote monitoring (RM) based on periodic (Boston Latitude [LAT], Medtronic Carelink [MCL], St. Jude Merlin [SJM]) or daily transmissions (Biotronik Home Monitoring [BHM]). The aim of this study was to compare all the current RM systems in normal practice and investigate the effect of periodicity of RM transmissions on early detection of clinical and device-related events.
methodsTwo hundred eleven ICD patients (mean age 69±11 years, 158 males), were remotely followed up for 1 year (61 with BHM, 49 with LAT, 65 with MCL, 36 with SJM). Remote follow-ups were configured quarterly, except for the BHM (daily transmissions).
resultsThe event-free rates were 49% with BHM, 57% with LAT, 57% with MCL, and 58 % with SJM (long-rank, p=0.23). BHM generated 304 (interquartile range, 184–342) transmissions per patient in a year, LAT 9 (8–11), MCL 7 (5–10), and SJM 8 (7–14) (p<0.000001). Eighty actionable events occurred at 1 year follow-up, 69 (86%) with RM systems: BHM was associated with a higher cumulative rate of actionable events. At a multivariate analysis, daily transmissions were independently associated with an increased probability of event detection as compared to periodic transmission systems. The chance of event detection is reduced by 20% (p=0.036) for a 1-month increase of the between-transmission interval (27 % for actionable events, p=0.004).
conclusionsAlthough all RM systems effectively detected major events, daily transmission was associated with a higher probability of early event detection.
