Utility and acceptability of remote 6-lead electrocardiographic monitoring in children with inherited cardiac conditions.
Article in Archives of disease in childhood, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis pilot study sought to investigate the utility and acceptability of the KardiaMobile 6-lead ECG (KM6LECG) as a tool for remote monitoring in children with inherited cardiac conditions.
designA single-centre prospective cohort study. Children underwent standard clinical evaluation including a 12-lead ECG and a KM6LECG in the clinic. Participants recorded KM6LECGs monthly at home for 3 months. Families completed a questionnaire on their experience.
settingGreat Ormond Street Hospital Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Diseases.
participants64 children: 22 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM); 22 with long QT syndrome and 20 unaffected siblings (controls).
main outcome measuresComparison of data extracted from the clinic 12-lead ECG and supervised KM6LECG, and the supervised and unsupervised KM6LECG recording.
resultsOf 64 children (35% female, mean age 12 years), 58 had a baseline 12-lead ECG and appropriate baseline KM6LECG. In children with HCM, abnormalities in ventricular depolarisation/repolarisation in the limb leads of the 12-lead ECG were reliably reproduced. From the whole cohort, there was a strong positive correlation between the corrected QT interval from the 12-lead ECG and baseline KM6LECG (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.839) and baseline KM6LECG with an unsupervised KM6LECG (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.736). Suspected 'lead' misplacement impacted 18% of unsupervised recordings. Overall, the acceptability of the KM6LECG to families was good.
conclusionsThe KM6LECG provides an accurate tool for assessing some ECG abnormalities associated with paediatric inherited cardiovascular disease and may provide a useful at-home adjunct to face-to-face clinical care of children requiring ECG assessment.
