Comparison of AliveCor KardiaMobile Six-Lead ECG with Standard ECG in Pediatric Patients.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The AliveCor KardiaMobile (ACKM) is a remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring device. Little research has been conducted on its accuracy with pediatric patients. This prospective study aims to compare the ACKM six-lead device with a standard fifteen-lead ECG in measuring the QTc, QRS, and axis in pediatric patients. Pediatric patients ages 5 to 21 years were enrolled prospectively to have their ECG recorded using an ACKM six-lead device following a recording with the standard 15-lead ECG. A pediatric electrophysiologist measured the QTc, QRS interval, and QRS axis for both ECGs. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to assess agreement among measurements. The study included 141 patients. The mean age was 12.3 ± 4.4 years. Average heart rate was 79 ± 16 bpm. The mean difference in the QTc measurements for a paired standard ECG and ACKM was - 0.6 ms [95% confidence interval - 48 to 47 ms]. Of the ACKM QTc measurements, 117 (83%) were within 30 ms of the standard ECG. The mean difference in paired QRS measurements was - 1.3 ms [95% confidence interval - 23 to 21 ms]. Of the ACKM QRS measurements, 134 (95%) were within 20 ms of the standard ECG. The measured axis was the same for 84% of ACKM and standard ECGs. Over 80% of the ACKM six-lead ECGs produced QTc, QRS, and axis deviation measurements within a clinically useful range of the standard ECG. However, it is not accurate enough to be used consistently in place of a standard ECG for QTc and QRS measurement for pediatric patients.
