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

to synthesize the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of telemedicine-based interventions in improving health-related quality of life and self-management of patients with heart disease. systematic review of effectiveness, following the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the reporting guideline Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Checklist. The search was conducted in six databases: Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus, without period restriction, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The methodological quality and risk of bias of the studies were assessed using the JBI critical appraisal tool and the certainty of the evidence was classified using the GRADE tool. of the 44 randomized clinical trials included, the main interventions analyzed were telemonitoring, telephone contact and telerehabilitation. Out of the studies evaluated, 88.63% demonstrated an improvement in health-related quality of life, with 45.45% of these showing a statistically significant difference. telemedicine shows promise as a valuable tool for the care and self-management of individuals with cardiac conditions. However, further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness and impact on health outcomes.
