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

Introduction: To effectively manage patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) while minimizing contact between medical staff, clinical trial protocol that facilitates contactless patient management was designed to predict deterioration of disease condition and monitor mental health status. Methods: Through consultation with infectious disease specialists and psychiatrists, this study identified main clinical indicators related to respiratory and non-respiratory outcomes, and mental health. Telehealth devices that could collect relevant data indicators were explored. The following three modes were identified: wearable devices, video calls, and online questionnaires. Clinical trial protocol was implemented to patients confirmed with COVID-19 infection and admitted to Seongnam residential treatment centers between September 1, 2021 and December 30, 2021. Data were collected from wearable devices, video calls, online questionnaires, and from electronic health records. Participant satisfaction was assessed through an online survey at the time of discharge. Results: In total, 120 asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic COVID-19 patients participated in this trial. Seven types of physiological and life log data were collected from 87 patients using wearable devices, video and audio recordings, and online mental health-related questionnaire. Most participants were satisfied with the overall trial process, but perceived difficulties in using telehealth devices. Conclusion: This trial collected simultaneously generated multimodal patient data using various telehealth devices in a contactless setting for COVID-19 patients. Data collected in this study will be used to build a remote patient management system based on the prediction algorithms.
