Review in Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07739316 (Systematic Ambulatory ECG Monitoring Following TAVI), which is not on this map. Cited by 161 papers, 7 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract

Ambulatory monitoring devices are enabling a new paradigm of health care by collecting and analyzing long-term data for reliable diagnostics. These devices are becoming increasingly popular for continuous monitoring of cardiac diseases. Recent advancements have enabled solutions that are both affordable and reliable, allowing monitoring of vulnerable populations from the comfort of their homes. They provide early detection of important physiological events, leading to timely alerts for seeking medical attention. In this review, the authors aim to summarize the recent developments in the area of ambulatory and remote monitoring solutions for cardiac diagnostics. The authors cover solutions based on wearable devices, smartphones, and other ambulatory sensors. The authors also present an overview of the limitations of current technologies, their effectiveness, and their adoption in the general population, and discuss some of the recently proposed methods to overcome these challenges. Lastly, we discuss the possibilities opened by this new paradigm, for the future of health care and personalized medicine.
