Developing a Newborn Resuscitation Telemedicine Program: A Comparison of Two Technologies.
Observational study in Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundEarly work has demonstrated the feasibility and acceptance of newborn resuscitation telemedicine programs (NRTPs). The technology requirements for providing this type of emergency telemedicine service are unclear.
introductionWe hypothesized that during NRTP consults, a wired telemedicine cart would provide a more reliable and higher-quality user experience than a consumer-grade wireless tablet. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective observational study, six spoke sites used consumer-grade wireless tablets during preintervention and wired coder/decoder (CODEC)-based telemedicine carts during postintervention. Both technologies used the same videoconferencing software. After the telemedicine consult, providers completed surveys assessing connection reliability, user satisfaction, and audio and video quality using a 1-5 Likert scale.
resultsPreintervention, users completed 99 consults and 95 surveys. Postintervention, users completed 73 consults and 192 surveys. Successful connection on first attempt was significantly improved with the wired cart compared with the wireless tablet (82.7% vs. 69.5%, p = 0.01), and the percentage of consults complicated by an unplanned disconnection was reduced (6.4% vs. 14.7%, p = 0.02). User satisfaction and video and audio quality ratings were significantly higher for the wired cart. DISCUSSION: The wired telemedicine cart increased connection reliability, which is important given the critical nature and long duration of NRTP consults. Audio-video quality was also improved, allowing for better visualization of the neonate and communication with the care team.
conclusionsConsumer-grade wireless tablets did not meet the program's technical requirements. Wired telemedicine carts improved reliability, user satisfaction, and audio-video quality. Wired carts may not fully meet NRTP requirements because of cart size and limited mobility.
