Telemedicine in Surgery: What are the Opportunities and Hurdles to Realising the Potential?
Review in Current urology reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Since the first telegraphic transmission of an electrocardiogram in 1906, technological developments have allowed telemedicine to flourish. It has become a multi-billion pound industry encompassing many areas of medical practice and education. Telemedicine is now widely used in surgery from performing operations to teaching and can be divided into three main components; telesurgery, telementoring and teleconsultation. Developments across these fields have led to remarkable achievements such as intercontinental telesurgery and telementoring. However, barriers to the further implementation of telemedicine remain. In this review, the developments and recent advances of telemedicine across the three domains are discussed together with the challenges and limitations that need to be overcome.
