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

Integration into clinical workflow remains a barrier to realizing the benefits of remote heart failure monitoring technologies. A workflow redesign program was conducted at 27 cardiology sites to improve implementation of heart failure remote monitoring with HeartLogic. Device data was retrospectively retrieved from HeartLogic-capable ICDs and CRT-Ds for the 12-month periods before and after re-design. Workflow redesign led to a decrease in HeartLogic enablement time (28±110 to 10±31 days, p<0.0001) and reduction in delayed data transmissions (10% to 6%). The number of HeartLogic alert onsets per year was unchanged; however, the length of individual alerts decreased from pre- to post-redesign (47.6±38.4 to 44.1±36.5 days, p=0.001) as did the percentage of time patients spent in alert (15.5±19.9% to 14.3±19.0%, p=0.04). The maximum HeartLogic index values per alert were also lower post-redesign (28.9±12.8 vs 27.8±12.1, p=0.001). Workflow redesign improved remote monitoring utilization and heart failure alert metrics.
