National Patterns of Remote Patient Monitoring Service Availability at US Hospitals.
Article in Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundDigital remote patient monitoring (RPM), such as home-based blood pressure, heart rate, or weight monitoring, enables longitudinal care outside traditional health care settings, especially in the vulnerable period after hospitalizations, with broad coverage of the service by payers. We sought to evaluate patterns of RPM service availability at US hospitals and the characteristics of hospitals and the counties they serve that are associated with the availability of these services.
methodsWe used national data from the American Hospital Association Annual Survey from 2018 to 2022 to ascertain US hospitals offering RPM services for postdischarge or chronic care. We linked hospitals with their census-based county-level data to define the characteristics of the counties they serve, including sociodemographic features such as age distribution, racial/ethnic composition, median household income, education level, and disability status. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between hospital- and county-level characteristics and RPM availability, adjusting for hospital size, region, teaching status, and ownership.
resultsThe study included 5644 hospitals. Over 5 years of study, there was a 40.3% increase in the number of hospitals offering RPM services, rising from 1364 (33.0%) hospitals in 2018 to 1797 (46.3%) in 2022. In 2022, hospitals with >300 beds had 3.7-fold odds of offering RPM compared with those with <100 beds (adjusted odds ratio, 3.71 [95% CI, 2.90-4.74]). Nonteaching hospitals had lower odds of RPM availability than teaching hospitals (adjusted odds ratio, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.19-0.44]), and rural hospitals had lower odds than urban hospitals (adjusted odds ratio, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.32-0.77]).
conclusionsIn this national study of US hospitals, there has been a large increase in the availability of RPM services but with large variation among hospitals, with lower availability in hospitals serving low-income and rural counties.
