Digital health for remote home monitoring of patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen: a cohort study and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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: The clinical course and outcome of COVID-19 vary widely, from asymptomatic and mild to critical. Elderly patients and patients with comorbidities are at increased risk of respiratory failure and oxygen requirements. Due to the massive surge, the pandemic has created challenges for overwhelmed hospitals. Thus, the original home management of COVID-19 patients requiring oxygen and remote monitoring by a web app and a nurse at home were implemented in our center. We aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen who benefited from home remote monitoring management. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on all COVID-19 patients requiring oxygen (< 5 L/min) who consulted from October 2020 to April 2021 at our emergency department and were managed with home remote monitoring by a web app and an in-home nurse. We also carried out a literature review of studies on COVID-19 patients requiring oxygen with remote monitoring. Results: We included 300 patients [184 (61.3%) male patients, median age 51 years]. The main comorbidities were cardiovascular disease ( Conclusion: Our study confirms the safety of home remote monitoring of patients with COVID-19 who require oxygen, as well as our literature review. However, patients with chronic respiratory failure and immunosuppression should be closely monitored.
