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

At the end of 2019, Wuhan, China, experienced an outbreak of a novel coronavirus. The SARS-CoV2 epidemiologic burden was constantly evolving, with numbers of infected persons, hospital admissions and deaths growing near exponentially. The pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide caught the health care systems in every country by storm and without a proper defense mechanism to cope and control such a pandemic, causing an overwhelming burden of illnesses that stressed the Health System capacity. In this context, telemedicine has been promoted and scaled up to reduce the risk of transmission. During the "lockdown", the AOU "Federico II" was forced to create peculiar pathways to ensure the safety of the patients and medical staff, and to keep an appropriate medical assistance, therefore it was introduced the telemedicine, wherever possible, by modifying the Information Technology (IT) related to the waiting times, rescheduling all booked visits and identifying several outpatient clinics suitable for telemedicine activities. In this paper the Authors reports their own experience with Telemedicine.
