Feasibility of Postoperative Home Monitoring Using Video Consultation and Vital Sign Monitoring of Bariatric Patients.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
rationaleThe length of hospital stay after bariatric surgery has decreased rapidly in recent years to an average of 1 day (one midnight). The transition from a controlled hospital environment to home environment may be a big step for patients. For these patients, home monitoring can be a substitute.
methodsA pilot study of 84 morbidly obese patients undergoing either laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LGS) was performed. Home monitoring consisted of daily contact via video consultation and measurement of vital signs at home. The primary outcome was feasibility of home monitoring. Secondary outcomes were complications and patient satisfaction measured with a questionnaire (PSQ-18).
resultsIn 77 of the 84 patients (92%), videoconference was possible on day 1, 74 patients (88%) on day 2 and 76 patients (90%) on day 3. Four patients (5%) were never reached. On day 1, 52 patients (62%) performed all instructed measurements, on day 2, 49 patients (58%) and on day 3, 63 patients (75%). Only 47 out of 84 patients (56%) measured the instructed amount of times on all 3 days. High satisfaction rates were reported in the patients receiving home monitoring.
conclusionOur first experience with home monitoring was disappointing since home monitoring of vital signs had poor compliance and not all patients were able to use the application. Further refinement of the home monitoring tool is needed to increase compliance and utility of the tool.
