Transition of care interventions to manage severe COVID-19 in the ambulatory setting: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Internal and emergency medicine, 2024. 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
backgroundSevere COVID-19, with the need in supplemental oxygen and hospitalization, leads to major burden on patients and healthcare systems. As a result, safe and effective ambulatory treatment strategies for severe COVID-19 are of urgent need. In this systematic review, we aimed to evaluate interventions to transition care to the ambulatory setting for patients with active severe COVID-19 that required supplemental oxygen.
methodsWe searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and DOAJ databases to identify articles with original data published until the 1st of April 2023. Characteristics and outcomes of interventions to transition care to home management were reviewed. Given the heterogeneous settings and outcomes studied, a meta-analysis was not performed.
resultsOf the 235 studies identified, 11 observational studies, with 2645 patients, were included. The interventions were initiated from the emergency department, observation units or inpatient units, and included continuous home telemonitoring (n = 8), mobile applications (n = 2), and patient-initiated medical contact (n = 3). Included patients had an overall short length of hospital stay, high readmission rates, and positive patients' feedback. There was a lack of prospective controlled data and cost-effectiveness analyses.
conclusionOur findings highlight the potential in treating severe COVID-19 at the ambulatory setting and the lack of high-quality data in this field. Dedicated medical teams, adjusted monitoring methods, improving clinical trajectory, and correct inclusion settings are needed for safe and effective transition of care.
