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

introductionThe objectives of this study were to describe the perspectives of caregivers of children with medical complexity on telemedicine video visits (TMVV) for posthospitalization care and determine whether TMVV may be a viable alternative to in-person follow-up.

methodOur qualitative descriptive study included semistructured telephone interviews with 12 caregivers. Data analysis was conducted using an adapted Colaizzi's descriptive phenomenological method for thematic construction.

resultsResults were organized into four themes describing caregivers' experiences with TMVV: (1) promoted caregiver self-efficacy and sense of independence; (2) TMVV as convenient, cost-effective, comprehensive, and acceptable; (3) supported caregiver decision-making and problem-solving; and (4) fostered delivery of family-centered care. DISCUSSION: Although in-person visits are necessary for some circumstances, TMVV can serve as a convenient and acceptable alternative for posthospitalization follow-up in children with medical complexity. Overall, caregivers in this study were satisfied with the quality of care and individualized experience of TMVV.
