The Development of Telemedicine and eHealth in Surgery during the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 12 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 has hampered healthcare systems worldwide, but some countries have found new opportunities and methods to combat it. In this study, we focused on the rapid growth of telemedicine during the pandemic around the world. We conducted a systematic literature review of all the articles published up to the present year, 2021, by following the requirements of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. The data extracted comprised eHealth and telemedicine in surgery globally, and independently in Europe, the United States, and Switzerland. This review explicitly included fifty-nine studies. Out of all the articles included, none of them found that telemedicine causes poor outcomes in patients. Telemedicine has created a new path in the world of healthcare, revolutionizing how healthcare is delivered to patients and developing alternative methods for clinicians.
