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

introductionApproximately 53% of maternal mortality occurs in the postpartum period, a time with little monitoring and health surveillance. The objective of this study was to test the feasibility, usability, appropriateness, and acceptability of remote low-burden physiologic monitoring of Black postpartum women, using a novel soft wearable patch and home vital sign monitoring for the first 4 weeks postpartum.

methodsA prospective longitudinal cohort feasibility study of 20 Black postpartum women was conducted using home monitoring equipment and a wearable patch with physiologic sensors measuring temperature, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, and respiration twice daily during the first 4 weeks postpartum. Feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and usability were measured at the end of the study with the Feasibility of Intervention Measure, Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and System Usability Scale.

resultsTwenty Black women were recruited and consented to participate in the study. Remote physiologic monitoring using a wearable patch and home monitoring equipment was rated as feasible (93%), acceptable (93%), appropriate (92%), and useable (80%). During the first 2 weeks postpartum, remote home monitoring detected that 60% of the women had blood pressures exceeding 140/90 mm Hg. The wearable patch provided useable data on ECG, heart rate, heart rate variability, pulse oximetry, and temperature. DISCUSSION: Our research suggests that remote monitoring in the first 4 weeks postpartum has the potential to identify Black women at risk for postpartum complications.
