Feasibility of Tele-Training to Acquire Sublingual Microcirculatory Images.
Article in ATS scholar, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Recent advances in device technology and image analysis software used to assess the sublingual microcirculation have expanded clinicians' understanding of hemodynamics beyond assessments of blood pressure and end-organ function to provide unique insight into blood flow at the tissue level. Similarly, significant advances in virtual education and telemedicine have transpired recently, especially during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. However, the training of clinicians to acquire microcirculation images continues to rely on in-person instruction, which can be limited by available local expertise and resources, as well as geographic access to instructors. Objective: Our project aimed to test the feasibility of deploying an online curriculum in combination with tele-guidance versus an in-person guided approach to instruct novices to understand basic principle of microcirculatory function and to acquire sublingual microcirculatory images. Methods: After participating in brief didactics, 14 participants were divided into two groups to acquire microcirculatory images on a healthy volunteer. Each participant either Results: Participants' image quality scores (14.7 vs. 23.6, Conclusion: This feasibility study provides a novel framework for how to successfully deploy asynchronous education and telemedicine to direct novices to acquire sublingual microcirculatory images. Using technological advances to teach microcirculation may enhance wide-scale adoption of a promising clinical monitoring tool for critically ill patients.
