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

aimHealth care professionals are tasked with the role of supporting patients in using eHealth services in their personal care and counselling competence in digital environments to ensure appropriate patient care. Our aim was to describe health care professionals' experiences of counselling competence in Digital Care Pathways.

designA descriptive qualitative study.

methodsInterviews with semi-structured questions were conducted. Twelve healthcare professionals were interviewed. The data were analysed using inductive content analysis. The results were reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research.

resultsThe analysis revealed eight distinct areas of competence related to counselling in Digital Care Pathways, namely, counselling competences related to the use of Digital Care Pathways, supporting patients' self-care, information technology competence, competence in creating an interactive counselling relationship on the Digital Care Pathway, information management, ethical competence related to counselling in Digital Care Pathways, competence to developing Digital Care Pathways services, and change competence. NO PUBLIC OR PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: Due to the complex and unpredictable circumstances of COVID, people's strict confinement in the hospital prohibited free access to them and the study environment. Therefore, the professionals involved in the study were interviewed through online systems.
