Review in Journal of arrhythmia, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06873828 (Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Wearable ECG), which is not on this map. Cited by 51 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Availability of portable and home-based electrocardiography (ECG) is an important medical innovation, which has a potential to transform medical care. We performed this review to understand the current state of out-of-hospital portable ECG technologies with respect to their scope, ease of use, data transmission capabilities, and diagnostic accuracy. Methods: We conducted PubMed and Internet searches for "handheld" or "wearable" or "patch" electrocardiography devices to enlist available technologies. We also searched PubMed with names of individual devices to obtain additional citations. We classified available devices as a "single limb lead ECG recording devices" and chest-lead "ECG recording devices." If a device used more than three electrodes, it was defined as a conventional electrocardiography or Holter machine and was excluded from this review. Results: We identified a total of 15 devices. Overall, only six of these devices (five single lead and one chest lead) featured in published medical literature as identified from PubMed search. A total of 13 citations were available for the single limb lead ECG recording devices and 6 citations for the chest-lead ECG recording devices. Conclusions: Despite the increase in number of such devices, published biomedical literature regarding their diagnostic accuracy, reproducibility, or utility is scant.
