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

Aims: The Council of Cardio-Oncology of the European Society of Cardiology developed an on-line anonymous survey to provide an overall picture of the current practice on the use of mobile and wearable digital devices in cardio-oncology and the potential barriers to their large-scale applicability. Methods and results: Between June 2023 and January 2024, an online anonymous questionnaire was completed by 220 healthcare professionals from 55 countries. The greatest number of respondents reported that mobile/wearable digital devices have a role in all active cancer patients for measuring heart rate (33.9%), blood pressure (34.4%), body temperature (32.0%), physical activity (42.4%), and sleep (31.2%). In the setting of atrial fibrillation detection, respondents were evenly split between applying these technologies in all patients (33.0%) or only in selected patients (33.0%). Regarding QTc interval monitoring, 30.6% reported that mobile/wearable digital devices play a role only in selected patients. The decision to use the device was taken by the patient in 56.6% of cases and the physician in 43.4%. The most important barrier reported to mobile/wearable device implementation in the setting of cardiac rhythm monitoring and QTc measurement was their cost (weighted average: 3.38 and 3.39, respectively). Conclusion: Mobile/wearable digital devices are considered to play an important role in different settings of cardio-oncology, including monitoring of patients' parameters and arrhythmia detection. Their role in monitoring physical activity and QTc interval appears more nuanced. The most important perceived barrier to mobile/wearable digital device implementation is considered their high cost.
