Changes in the digital health landscape in cardiac electrophysiology: A pre-and peri-pandemic COVID-19 era survey.
Article in Cardiovascular digital health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Background: Digital health is transforming healthcare delivery. Objective: To compare the current digital health landscape in select groups of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) professionals prior to and during the COVID-19 era. Methods: Two online surveys were emailed to 4 Heart Rhythm Society communities and tweeted out to Twitter EP, 1 before and 1 during the pandemic. Categorical variables were analyzed using the Results: There were 253 pre-pandemic (S1) and 273 follow-up surveys (S2) completed. The majority of respondents to both surveys were male, aged <55 years (70.6% vs 75.1%), university-affiliated (52.6% vs 55%), and physicians (83.3% vs 87.9%). Between S1 and S2, routine use of video-telehealth increased (5.9% vs 58.6%; Conclusion: Our results show an increase in adoption of digital health by EP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns regarding a lack of supportive infrastructure persisted. Development of professional society guidelines on optimal clinical workflow, infrastructure, and reimbursement may help advance and sustain digital health integration in EP.
