Detecting early signs of deterioration and preventing hospitalizations in skilled nursing facilities using remote respiratory monitoring.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
An increase in respiratory rate (RR) can be an early indicator of clinical deterioration, yet it remains an often-neglected vital sign. The most common way of measuring RR is by manually counting chest-wall movements, a time-consuming and error-prone process. Staffing and funding shortages, particularly in post-acute and long-term care, mean these RR measurements are often infrequent, potentially leading to missed diagnoses and preventable readmissions. Here we present a case series from skilled nursing facilities, highlighting how continuous respiratory monitoring using a contactless remote patient monitoring (RPM) system can support clinicians in initiating timely interventions, potentially reducing preventable hospitalizations, mortality, and associated financial implications.
