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

The German healthcare system is facing challenges of an aging population with an increasing number of chronically ill patients with multimorbidity. Some of these are in need of nursing care, but there is a limited supply of care due to continuing shortage of personnel. The project, Telemedizin@NRW, funded by the Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE NRW), addresses these challenges and pursues a holistic concept - including a technical review - for the care of chronically ill patients with multimorbidity by focusing on cross-indication telemonitoring. Cross-indication is emphasized because diseases (multimorbidity, comorbidity) are in part mutually dependent and reinforcing. Therefore, their treatment must also be holistically "thought" of across organs and disease patterns. In the project, cases from cardiology, dermatology and pneumology were considered. Based on the available project findings, the technical feasibility of telemonitoring across indications was investigated. The telemedicine platform that was used in the project and then further developed on the basis of additional needs was able to meet the technical requirements. This development demonstrated that cross-indication telemonitoring is technically and procedurally feasible. To implement such forms of care, cross-sector structures with interoperable systems must be further developed.
