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 previously demonstrated the non-inferiority of a synchronous (real-time) telemedicine model (compared to gold standard in-person examination) for pediatric ophthalmology consultations using a Polycom conferencing system, smart glasses, digital slit lamp, and digital indirect ophthalmoscope. Although we acknowledge there is a learning curve associated with becoming proficient with this system, we believe implementation of a synchronous telemedicine model is advantageous to both patient and provider in the right care setting. In conducting 348 such examinations over the course of our study and dozens of subsequent examinations after the implementation of our model in the community, we have gleaned many insights into optimizing the experience and efficiency. We wish to share these insights to help guide those interested in adopting such a model to expand access to specialists for underserved patients or improve efficiencies in their practice.
