Telemonitoring in heart failure patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Article in World journal of cardiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
backgroundHome telemonitoring has been used as a modality to prevent readmission and improve outcomes for patients with heart failure. However, studies have produced conflicting outcomes over the years.
aimTo determine the aggregate effect of telemonitoring on all-cause mortality, heart failure-related mortality, all-cause hospitalization, and heart failure-related hospitalization in heart failure patients.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 38 home telemonitoring randomized controlled trials involving 14993 patients. We also conducted a sensitivity analysis to examine the effect of telemonitoring duration, recent heart failure hospitalization, and age on telemonitoring outcomes.
resultsOur study demonstrated that home telemonitoring in heart failure patients was associated with reduced all-cause [relative risk (RR) = 0.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75-0.92,
conclusionHome telemonitoring using digital/broadband/satellite/wireless or blue-tooth transmission of physiological data reduces all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in heart failure patients. In addition, prolonged telemonitoring (≥ 12 mo) reduces all-cause and heart failure-related hospitalization. The implication for practice is that hospitals considering telemonitoring to reduce heart failure readmission rates may need to plan for prolonged telemonitoring to see the effect they are looking for.
