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

Introduction: Telemedicine, particularly remote monitoring, offers a promising approach to enhance health care. This study evaluated the impact of the Operations Center for Discharged Patients (COD19) telemonitoring service on COVID-19 patient mortality during the pandemic, exploring telemedicine's potential in managing severe health emergencies. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on COVID-19 patients in home isolation, divided into telemonitoring and non-telemonitoring groups. All-cause mortality was the primary outcome. The COD19 provided active surveillance for the telemonitoring group. Results: The study included 6,017 patients: 2,431 telemonitored and 3,586 non-telemonitored. Telemonitored patients were older and had more comorbidities, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and a higher risk of hospitalization. Critically, mortality was significantly lower in the telemonitored group (1.3% vs. 2.9%, Conclusions: Proactive at-home telemonitoring correlates with reduced mortality in COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted telemedicine's potential as a vital strategy for emergency health care readiness.
