Measuring Physical Activity With Implanted Cardiac Devices: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundPhysical activity is predictive of cardiovascular outcomes in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, yet it is not regularly assessed in routine care. Current-generation cardiovascular implantable electronic devices, however, continuously monitor patient activity through a built-in accelerometer, which provides new opportunities to remotely assess patient activity, detect changes in clinical status, and incorporate these data in risk stratification models. This review critically examines the literature on device-measured physical activity (D-PA), with a focus on identifying methodological issues that may affect interpretation of study results. METHODS AND
resultsWe conducted a systematic review of D-PA studies published from January 1 1995 to December 30 2017, identifying 29 studies meeting inclusion criteria, 5 of which were validation reports. Few technical details about D-PA sensors are reported, and procedures for analyzing and interpreting D-PA data are heterogeneous. Trends in D-PA over time and associations with clinical outcomes were reported by 22 studies, and in 7 studies, D-PA was combined with other device parameters in risk stratification models, demonstrating modest-to-good sensitivity in predicting acute heart failure decompensation, hospitalization, and mortality.
conclusionsCurrent evidence suggests that D-PA may be useful for assessing physical activity and predicting clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices when combined with other device parameters. Future work must address challenges related to D-PA data measurement, interpretation, and generalizability to support expanded clinical applications of this technology.
