Supporting consulting paediatrics in rural, remote, or vulnerable communities in British Columbia: Time for national collaboration.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Rural consultant paediatricians in Canada are in short supply. Rural communities across the country could benefit from the implementation of strategies to ensure access to consistent, local consultant paediatric care. Compared to their urban counterparts, rural paediatricians face unique challenges, including significant call requirements, potential risk of burnout and difficulty in recruitment. In response to these challenges, a number of strategies to bolster the provision of paediatric care to rural, remote, and underserved communities have evolved in British Columbia, including virtual support, the development of a rural paediatric network, and new training opportunities. It is time for discussions about the vulnerability of consulting paediatric care in rural or underserved communities to occur at the national level. National engagement will foster collaboration, drive research, and facilitate workforce planning, with the goal of ensuring that all Canadian communities have access to consulting paediatric care.
