Connectivity Strategies in Managing a POCT Service.
Review in EJIFCC, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Point of Care Testing is increasingly being used for diagnosis and management of various disease states. Management of different Point of Care instruments at multiple sites can be challenging, particularly when such instruments are operated by non technical staff. Connectivity is critical for optimal management of these services which are intimately linked to operator training and competency and are important in minimising harm to the patient by reducing analytical errors. Furthermore, connectivity improves turn around time leading to faster decision making by physicians. Recent advances in technology such as 5G and artificial intelligence are likely to lead to a greater focus on personalized care as a result of big data analysis and development of algorithms.
