User experience of a combined 2-in-1 home ECG and blood pressure monitor: a qualitative study.
Article in The British journal of cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We evaluated the usability of a novel 2-in-1 blood pressure (BP) and electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor (developed to facilitate earlier detection of hypertension and atrial fibrillation). Arrhythmia clinic patients and public volunteers were recruited. Key themes were generated from semi-structured interviews. Patients (n=12) found the experience of measuring ECG and BP equally positive. Public volunteers (n=11) found BP measurement a more positive experience compared with ECG recording. Several key themes were generated: patient empowerment, investment in health, technical know-how, user requirements and ergonomics. In conclusion, the 2-in-1 BP and ECG monitor received overall positive reviews, showcasing the device's potential to enhance patient care in the management of hypertension and atrial fibrillation.
