Article in Annals of noninvasive electrocardiology : the official journal of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Inc, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundParoxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke, but challenging to detect with routine short-term monitoring methods. In this pilot study, we present a novel method for prolonged ECG and screening for pAF in patients with a recent embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS).
methodsFifteen patients aged ≥ 50 years with a recent ESUS were assigned to wear an external electrode belt-based 1-lead ECG device (Beat2Phone) continuously for 2 weeks (wear time). The device was operated via a mobile phone application in nonhospital conditions. The primary outcome was patient adherence to monitoring. Secondary outcomes were incidence of new pAF, quality-wise comparison to Holter, and usability of the novel ECG monitoring method with Systems Usability Scale (SUS). We also performed a 24- to 48-hr comparison between simultaneous Beat2Phone ECG and a standard Holter in 6 patients.
resultsWear time of Beat2Phone device was over 80% in 5 (33.3%) patients, 50%-80% in 7 (46.6%) patients, and less than 50% in 3 (20%) patients. We detected pAF ≥ 30 s in 1 patient (6.7%). In the simultaneous monitoring with Beat2Phone and Holter, there were a total of 817 (out of 1979) analyzable periods of sinus rhythm or premature atrial or ventricular beats (Cohen's Kappa coefficient 0.92 ± 0.02 between Beat2Phone and Holter), and no pAF events. Beat2Phone ECG showed remarkable SUS scores in user evaluations (average score: 81.4 out of 100 on SUS).
conclusionsBeat2Phone device was easy to use among ESUS patients and in optimal conditions provided high-quality 1-lead ECG signal for diagnosing pAF. CLINICAL
