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

backgroundThe prevalence of chronic coronary heart diseases (CHDs) increases with age in the elderly, which represents one of the top-ranked causes of death and disease burden.

methodsThis study aimed to investigate the management efficiency of telemedicine based on the remote multiparameter monitoring in elderly patients with CHD. A total of 1248 elderly patients diagnosed with CHD were enrolled. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups, wearable equipment-based telemedical management (WTM) group and traditional follow-up management (TFM) group. Face-to-face clinical interview at least once every 2 months was required in TFM group to collect the medical records. Patients in WTM group were provided with wearable equipment to complete remote monitoring, real-time alerts and health intervention via virtual consultations and remote medication recommendations.

resultsThe mean age of patients in WTM group and TFM group was 71.1 (68.0-82.0) years and 71.0 (68.0-81.0) years, respectively‏. After a 12-month management, patients in WTM group presented a lower occurrence of hospitalisation (HR 0.59, 95% CI=0.47 to 0.73, p<0.0001) and major adverse cardiac events (HR 0.60, 95% CI=0.44 to 0.82, p=0.0012) compared with patients in TFM group.

conclusionThe multiparameter telemedical management could help with the out-of-hospital management and reduce the incidence of rehospitalisation in elderly patients with CHD.
