1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We developed a system to improve the quality of telemedicine, and the test results obtained have been presented in this paper, along with the technical details of the system. The spread of COVID-19 has accelerated the need for telemedicine to effectively prevent infections. However, in traditional Japanese medicine (Kampo), where color is essential, an accurate diagnosis cannot be made without color reproduction. Because commercial smartphones cannot reproduce colors with the level of fidelity required for medical treatments, we created a color chart that includes the human skin and tongue colors to help doctors identify their colors accurately during a telemedicine examination. Further, we developed a telemedicine system that allows for automatic color correction using a mobile device, with a color chart and non-contact heart rate measurements.
