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

Introduction: We implemented a large-scale remote patient monitoring (RPM) program for patients diagnosed with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) at a not-for-profit regional healthcare system. In this retrospective observational study, patients from nine emergency department (ED) sites were provided a pulse oximeter and enrolled onto a monitoring platform upon discharge. Methods: The RPM team captured oxygen saturation (SpO Results: Between December 2020-August 2021, a total of 3,457 patients were referred, and 1,779 successfully transmitted at least one point of data. Patients on COVID-19 RPM were associated with a lower 30-day return-to-ED rate (6.2%) than those not on RPM (14.9%), with capture of higher acuity patients (47.7% of RPM 30-day returnees were subsequently hospitalized vs 34.8% of non-RPM returnees). Conclusion: Our program, one of the largest studies to date that captures both physiologic and symptomatic data, may inform others who look to implement a program of similar scope. We also share lessons learned regarding barriers and disparities in enrollment and discuss implications for RPM in other acute disease states.
