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

objectiveAcute coronary syndrome patients should be closely followed-up to maintain optimal adherence to medical treatments and to reduce adverse events. Digital health interventions might provide improved outcomes for patient care by providing closer follow- up, compared to standard care. Thus, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the effect of digital health interventions on follow-up in acute coronary syndrome patients.

methodsWe searched medical databases to obtain all relevant studies comparing digital health interventions with standard care in acute coronary syndrome patients. After reviewing all eligible studies, a meta-analysis was conducted with the remaining 11 randomized controlled studies and 2 non-randomized controlled studies. A modified Jadad scale and Newcastle-Ottawa scale were used to assess the quality of the publications for randomized controlled studies and non-randomized controlled studies, respectively.

resultsThis meta-analysis consisted of 7657 patients. The all-cause mortality rate was 49% lower in the digital health intervention cases, compared to those who received standard care [relative risk (RR) = 0.51 (0.37; 0.70), P <.01]. There was a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure in the digital health interventions group, compared to the standard care group [mean difference = -5.28 (-9.47; -1.08), P =.01]. The rate of nonadherence to anti-aggregant drugs was 69% lower in the digital health interventions than in the standard care group [RR = 0.31 (0.20; 0.46), P <.01]. Also, nonadherence rates for statin and beta-blockers were lower in the digital health interventions group. The risk of rehospitalization was observed to be 55% less in the digital health interventions patients, compared to the standard care group [RR = 0.45 (0.30; 0.67), P <.01].

conclusionDigital health interventions can be effective in follow-up for secondary prevention in acute coronary syndrome patients.
