Remote digital health technologies for improving the care of people with respiratory disorders.
Review in The Lancet. Digital health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Respiratory diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. However, existing systems of care, built around scheduled appointments, are not well designed to support the needs of people with chronic and acute respiratory conditions that can change rapidly and unexpectedly. Home-based and personal digital health technologies (DHTs) allow implementation of new models of care catering to the unique needs of individuals. The high number of respiratory triggers and unique responses to them require a personalised solution for each patient. The real-world, repetitive monitoring capabilities of DHTs enable identification of the normal operating characteristics for each individual and, therefore, recognition of the earliest deviations from that state. However, despite this potential, the number of clinical efficacy studies of DHTs is quite small. Evaluation of clinical effectiveness of DHTs in improving health quality in real-world settings is urgently needed.
