Development of an ultralow-latency communication system using shared internet access: promoting the implementation of telemedicine.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Telemedicine is becoming increasingly important to address the shortage of gastrointestinal surgeons and disparities in domestic and international treatment outcomes for patients with colorectal cancer. The development of a low-latency communication system using existing communication infrastructure (shared internet access: SIA) is necessary to promote the use of telemedicine. The aim of this study was to develop a low-latency communication system using SIA. We conducted an experiment between Sapporo and Tokyo using an ultralow-latency communication system for remote medical education (TELEPRO®). The latency was measured using 2000 annotations from a monitor in Sapporo, which confirmed a median latency of 27.5 ms. A low-latency communication system based on SIA with latency lower than the maximum allowable latency for telemedicine was developed successfully.
