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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe use of smart devices such as smartphones and smartwatches in cardiology continues to significantly increase. The widespread use is also promoted by patients and the industry.

objectivesThe goal is to assess different opportunities of smart devices in cardiology. MATERIALS AND

methodsA selected review of the literature was carried out. Scientific and clinical studies regarding possible applications of these devices were evaluated.

resultsThe use of smartphones in Germany is among the highest worldwide. This allows very broad use of this technology in general and in the medical field. There are various potential applications ranging from a reference source over clinical decision support to biosignal sensing. Particularly, the combination of biosignal collection and interpretation by artificial intelligence could lead to a significant improvement of our diagnostic methods and precisely predict the course of various cardiovascular diseases.

conclusionsSmart devices are already increasingly used in daily clinical practice. Due to the numerous technical opportunities, the use of these devices will further spread and, most probably, will transform cardiology.
