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

backgroundRemote cardiac rhythm monitoring and recording, using hand-carried electrocardiogram (ECG) device had been widely used in telemedicine. The feasibility and accuracy analysis on the data recorded by a new miniature ECG system-on-chip (SoC) system has not been explored before.

methodsThis study evaluated the accuracy of the ECG recordings captured by CardioChip - a single-channeled, low-powered, miniature ECG SoC designed for mobile applications; comparing against Philips Pagewriter Trim III - a Food and Drug Administration certified, widely-used standard 12-lead ECG recording device, within Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taiwan.

resultsTotal of 111 participants, age ranging from 39 to 87years old [mean age: 61.2 ± 13.4, 57 male (51.3%)] were enrolled. Two experienced cardiologists rated and scored the ECG morphology to be the same between the two devices, while CardioChip ECG was more sensitive to baseline noise. R-peak amplitudes measured both devices using single lead information (CardioChip ECG vs. Lead 1 in standard 12-lead ECG) showed statistical consistency. Offline analysis of signal correlation coefficients and coherence showed good correlation with both over 0.94 in average (0.94 ± 0.04 and 0.95 ± 0.04, respectively), high agreement between raters (94% agreement) for detecting abnormal cardiac rhythm with excellent R-peak amplitude (r = 0.98, p < 0.001) and PR interval (r = 0.91, p < 0.001) correlations, indicating excellent correlation between ECG recordings derived from two different modalities.

conclusionsThe results suggested that CardioChip ECG is comparable to medical industry standard ECG. The future implementation of wearable ECG device embedded with miniature ECG system-on-chip (SoC) system is ready for clinical use, which will potentially enhance efficacy on identifying subjects with suspected cardiac arrhythmias.
