Standardized Neurodevelopmental Surveillance of High-risk Infants Using Telehealth: Implementation Study during COVID-19.

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
introductionNeurodevelopmental surveillance is critical for high-risk infants following neonatal intensive care discharge and is traditionally performed in-person. COVID-19 interruption of regular surveillance necessitated a rapid development of telehealth models for effective and standardized care.
methodsWe used implementation science and lean methodologies to develop an effective telehealth neurodevelopmental surveillance program for high-risk infants. Interventions included reorganization of visit flow processes and a telehealth toolkit for standardized neurological and developmental assessments. We tested and improved our intervention through plan-do-study-act cycles, value-added analysis, and parent- and provider-satisfaction questionnaires. Process metrics (standard elements, subspecialty referrals, diagnostic tests, and prescriptions ordered) were compared in group-level analyses between telehealth patients (N = 97) March 16, 2020-July 1, 2020 and a matched in-person cohort at the same period the previous year. Run charts examined shifts in balancing measures (provider efficiency and missed visits) over 8 weeks before and after implementation.
resultsPrimary outcomes were visit completion (100%), patient parent satisfaction (>90% strongly agreed or agreed telehealth procedures were valuable and easy to use) and ability to accurately diagnose cerebral palsy (no statistical difference with comparison visits). Providers (N = 6) rated telehealth experiences favorably. Process metrics indicated no differences between telehealth and in-person visits (all
conclusionsImplementation of telehealth for neurodevelopmental surveillance in a tertiary high-risk infant follow-up clinic successfully provided standardized and timely care during stay-at-home orders; broader telehealth applications may overcome access barriers in this field.
