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

objectiveTelemedicine use in pediatrics increased during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite rapid uptake by pediatric residency programs, consensus on essential telemedicine skills for pediatric residents is lacking. We used a modified Delphi methodology to identify essential telemedicine skills and behaviors for pediatric residents.

methodsA focused literature search was performed to identify items for review by pediatric telemedicine experts. A modified Delphi methodology consisting of iterative rounds of anonymous surveys was conducted until consensus for each item was reached. Consensus was defined as >80% of experts identifying a topic as "very important." All items were mapped to one of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) core competencies.

resultsSeventeen pediatric telemedicine skills and behaviors achieved a consensus of "very important." Most items mapped to the ACGME core competency domains of interpersonal and communication skills and professionalism.

conclusionsThere was a high degree of agreement among pediatric telemedicine experts on the importance of 17 telemedicine skills and behaviors for pediatric trainees. These skills can inform pediatric telemedicine curricula and provide validity evidence for pediatric telemedicine assessment tools.
