Experience in screening for atrial fibrillation and monitoring arrhythmia using a single-lead ECG stick.
Review in Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is highly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Since many AF episodes remain subclinical, screening for AF is considered a desirable approach for timely diagnosis, prevention of sequelae and effective treatment. Recently, devices for AF detection-stand-alone or integrated in mobile health technology-have become available and show promising preliminary results in the detection and monitoring of arrhythmia. This review describes the technical aspects of a single-lead ECG stick and summarizes the current literature, experience in large-scale screening for AF in pharmacies and potential fields of application.
