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

objectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought major changes to the model of patient care in Rheumatology. Our aim was to compare the change in the care delivered in a rheumatology nursing consultation before and during the pandemic. MATERIAL AND

methodsDescriptive and observational study in 254 patients before and in 251 during the pandemic outbreak.

resultsThe type of scheduled face-to-face visit decreased during COVID-19 (46.5% vs. 1.6%), with the number of scheduled telephone visits increasing (2.8% vs. 52.2%) and spontaneous consultations over the phone or email (28.3% vs. 45%). The functions performed in the programmed ones were the stable patient control (20% vs. 37%) and management (12% vs. 38%). The reason for spontaneous consultation increased during COVID-19, especially doubts regarding prevention measures and treatment optimization (13.8% vs. 31.1%).

conclusionsThe first wave of COVID-19 brought to rheumatology nursing consultation a global increase in all activities in the number of visits per day, in the number of stable patient controls, in monitoring and answering patient concerns.
