Remote monitoring of implantable loop recorders reduces time to diagnosis in patients with unexplained syncope: a multicenter propensity score-matched study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: There are little data on remote monitoring (RM) of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in patients with unexplained syncope and whether it confers enhanced diagnostic power. Objective: To evaluate the effect of RM in ILR recipients for unexplained syncope for early detection of clinically relevant arrhythmias by comparison with a historical cohort with no RM. Methods: SyncRM is a propensity score (PS)-matched study prospectively including 133 consecutive patients with unexplained syncope and ILR followed up by RM (RM-ON group). A historical cohort of 108 consecutive ILR patients with biannual in-hospital follow-up visits was used as control group (RM-OFF group). The primary endpoint was the time to the clinician's evaluation of clinically relevant arrhythmias (types 1, 2, and 4 of the ISSUE classification). Results: The primary endpoint of arrhythmia evaluation was reached in 38 patients (28.6%) of the RM-ON group after a median time of 46 days (interquartile range, 13-106) and in 22 patients (20.4%) of the RM-OFF group after 92 days (25-368). The PS-matched adjusted ratio of rates of arrhythmia evaluation was 2.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.32-4.86) in the RM-ON vs. RM-OFF group ( Conclusion: In our PS-matched comparison with a historical cohort, RM of ILR patients with unexplained syncope was associated with a 2.5-fold higher chance of evaluations of clinically relevant arrhythmias as compared with biannual in-office follow-up visits.
