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
backgroundA "functional treatment gap" exists in primary care of India despite the higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders at primary care. Traditional classroom training for primary care doctors (PCDs) fails to translate into adequate clinical skills to provide basic psychiatric treatment. An innovative telepsychiatric on-consultation training (Tele-OCT) is designed exclusively for practicing PCDs where a telepsychiatrist trains PCDs in live video streaming of their own real-time general consultations of primary health centres. The aim of this study is to establish performance indicators of Tele-OCT for its effective implementation. METHODOLOGY: The data collected using a file review method from a naturalistic design of the implementation of Tele-OCT for 73 PCDs from August-2016 to October-2018 across Mandya district, Karnataka, India.
resultsFlexibility in the scheduling of Tele-OCT sessions is key to success. Personal smartphones of PCDs with available videoconference applications are the popular choice. Four consecutive Tele-OCT sessions are planned for each PCD with a gap of 2-4 weeks over two months. The first three sessions are considered the "optimum Tele-OCT training package" for each PCD, followed by the fourth one as a 'Tele-OCT impact evaluation session' in a live, real-time general consultation. Each Tele-OCT is conducted in an average ten general patients in about two hours per session, totalling about 30 patients in 6 hours of Tele-OCT training package per PCD. Patient's profiles especially common mental disorders are reflective of a true picture of Indian primary care.
conclusionsPerformance indicators of Tele-OCT for future implementation are established. Tele-OCT appears to be a path-breaking training model for PCDs to integrate psychiatric care in their general practice.
