Telemonitoring of left-ventricular assist device patients-current status and future challenges.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04613401 (Association of Telemonitoring With Hospitalization Rates and Quality of Life in Patients With End-stage Heart Failure and Implanted Left Ventricular Cardiac Assist Devices), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
E-health, especially telemedicine, has undergone a remarkably dynamic development over the past few years. Most experience is currently in the field of telemedical care for heart failure (HF) patients. However, HF patients with an implanted left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) have been more or less excluded from consistent telemonitoring until now. And yet, continual monitoring would be very significant for this patient group because of the complexity of its aftercare, requiring steady control of various parameters (device-related parameters, vital parameters, coagulation parameters, etc.). With timely action, severe and costly complications like pump thromboses and driveline infections could be detected early on or even avoided completely. This paper describes the potential of telemonitoring in LVAD patients, as well as its first clinical implementation according to the available literature. It also describes the requirements for a complete telemonitoring of LVAD patients, facilitating the advancement of this form of continual monitoring to a clinical standard which would increase the quality of aftercare for this very special patient collective enormously.
