Leading POCT Networks: Operating POCT Programs Across Multiple Sites Involving Vast Geographical Areas and Rural Communities.
Review in EJIFCC, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Few peer-reviewed publications provide laboratory leaders with useful strategies on which to develop and implement point of care testing (POCT) programs to support delivery of acute care services to remote rural communities, with or without trained laboratory staff on site. This mini review discusses common challenges faced by laboratory leaders poised to implement and operate POCT programs at multiple remote and rural sites. It identifies areas for consideration during the initial program planning phases and provides areas for focus during evaluation and for continued improvement of POCT services at remote locations. Finally, it discusses a potential oversight framework for governance and leadership of multisite POCT programs servicing remote and rural communities.
