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: The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust outpatient services transformation programme is a strategic change programme delivered as a collaborative approach through the Berkshire West Integrated Care Partnership. The main aim of redesign is to improve capacity in clinics and improve patient experience. Methods: This was done through a best practice menu and 'how to' guides. This simplified and standardised the process for moving activity from face-to-face to virtual, maximising remote monitoring and moving clinics off the main acute site. Results: We have successfully implemented six different work streams to transform outpatient services. Referrals are now triaged and streamed. The number of patients reviewed virtually, on patient-initiated follow-up and seen closer to home has increased. Conclusion: The outpatient services transformation programme has resulted in improvements within the trust and the integrated care partnership. This programme supports the vision by the Royal College of Physicians and NHS England to modernise and transform outpatient services.
