Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve: the Future of Cardiac Rhythm Monitoring.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purpose of reviewThis review describes the novel category of wearable ECG monitors and identifies where patients, healthcare providers, and device manufacturers should focus efforts to maximize the clinical benefit of these devices. RECENT
findingsNotable wearable ECG monitors include the AliveCor Kardia devices, Apple Watch Series 4, and several others. The most common use case is monitoring for atrial fibrillation. The available evidence validates the ability of the Kardia devices and Apple Watch to distinguish atrial fibrillation from sinus rhythm. Key questions for manufacturers include how to calibrate each device's algorithms and streamline workflows for healthcare providers. Wearable ECG monitors are currently most useful to detect atrial fibrillation. Further study is needed to demonstrate whether wearable ECG monitors improve patient outcomes, and to expand their use into other indications. Device manufacturers and healthcare providers must work together to establish new workflows to process and act on wearable ECG data.
