Strategies to improve communication in telementoring in acute care coordination: a scoping review.
Article in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Telementoring facilitates the coordination of advanced medical care in rural, remote or austere environments. Because the interpersonal element of telementoring has been relatively underexplored, we conducted a scoping review to identify strategies to improve communication in telementoring. Methods: Two independent reviewers searched all English-language articles in MEDLINE and Scopus from 1964 to 2017, as well as reference lists of relevant articles to identify articles addressing telementored interactions between health care providers. Search results were gathered in June 2017 and updated in January 2018. Identified articles were categorized by theme. Results: We identified 144 articles, of which 56 met our inclusion criteria. Forty-one articles focused on improving dispatcher-directed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Major themes included the importance of language in identifying out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and how to provide instructions to enable administration of effective CPR. A standardized approach with scripted questions was associated with improved detection of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and a concise script was associated with improved CPR quality compared to no mentoring, unscripted mentoring or more complex instructions. Six articles focused on physician-physician consultation. Use of a handover tool that highlighted critical information outperformed an unstructured approach regarding transmission of vital information. Nine articles examined telementoring in trauma resuscitation. A common theme was the need to establish an understanding between mentor and provider regarding the limitations of the provider and his or her environment. Conclusion: The available data suggest that standardization coupled with short, concise validated scripts could improve efficacy, safety and engagement. Improvements will require multidisciplinary input, practice and deliberate efforts to address barriers.
