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

The dramatic uptake of virtual care, or telehealth, utilization because of COVID-19 restrictions for persons with limb loss has led to a much greater understanding of this health care delivery method for this complex patient population. However, much is still unknown. Therefore, the authors provide a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence for virtual care delivery across the phases of amputation rehabilitation, as well as anecdotal evidence, to provide a platform for further discussion and development of research and innovative opportunities. Evidence reveals that virtual care serves as a complement to in-person health care for individuals with limb loss because it allows for increased accessibility to these services. The authors conclude that continued use of telehealth beyond the COVID-19 restrictions to optimize outcomes across the continuum of care for persons with limb loss is warranted.
