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

Continuous temperature monitoring with wearable devices may lead to earlier fever detection. This may improve the outcome of fever in neutropenia episodes in pediatric patients with cancer. This prospective two-center observational and proof-of-concept study recruited pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Two different wearable devices (WDs), the CORE® and the Everion®, were worn for 14 days to continuously record multiple vital signs. Both WDs record core temperature and its quality score. Everion® records 17 further vital signs or health scores. All measurements resulted in 4945 (CORE®) and 5360 hours (Everion®) of data. Combined, 6'085'943 measurements of vital signs and health scores were recorded. In addition, non-WD data such as acceptability, side effects and discrete ear temperature measurements were collected. The described methods and resulting data can be reused to study acceptability, usability, compliance, and data quality of the CORE® and Everion® devices in pediatric patients. Additionally, these methods and data can be utilized to study vital signs in pediatric patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
