Benefits and Challenges of Remote Patient Monitoring as Perceived by Health Care Practitioners: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The Permanente journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 papers, 2 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
backgroundRemote patient monitoring (RPM), or telemonitoring, offers ways for health care practitioners to gather real-time information on the physiological conditions of patients. As telemedicine, and thus telemonitoring, is becoming increasingly relevant in today's society, understanding the practitioners' opinions is crucial. This systematic review evaluates the perspectives and experiences of health care practitioners with telemonitoring technologies.
methodsA database search was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the selection of articles measuring health care practitioners' perspectives and experiences with RPM technologies published between 2017 and 2021. Only articles written in English were included. No statistical analysis was performed and thus this is a qualitative review.
resultsA total of 1605 studies were identified after the initial search. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this review's authors, 13 articles were included in this review. In all, 2351 practitioners' perspectives and experience utilizing RPM technology in a variety of medical specialties were evaluated through close- and open-ended surveys. Recurring themes emerged for both the benefits and challenges. Common benefits included continuous monitoring of patients to provide prompt care, improvement of patient self-care, efficient communication, increased patient confidence, visualization of health trends, and greater patient education. Challenges comprised increased workload, higher patient anxiety, data inaccuracy, disorienting technology, financial issues, and privacy concerns.
conclusionHealth care practitioners generally believe that RPM is feasible for application. Additionally, there is a consensus that telemonitoring strategies will become increasingly relevant. However, there are still drawbacks to the technology that need to be considered.
