Barriers to the implementation of virtual care programmes for patients with chronic wounds: Qualitative empirical research.
Review in Nursing open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo assess the barriers to the implementation of virtual care for patients with chronic wounds from wound therapists' perspective.
designA qualitative study.
methodsThe study was conducted in two consecutive phases: (1) literature review, (2) descriptive qualitative study. In the first phase, texts published in English until 2023 were identified using international databases. The entire text of the selected studies was evaluated independently by two reviewers. Data analysis was carried out using textual content analysis. In the second phase of the study, twelve participants from Iranian wound care clinics participated. Data were collected through focus group discussion and analysed using conventional content analysis. Integration of both phases was conducted in the data analysis stage.
resultsThe most important barriers in providing virtual care to patients with chronic wounds were identified into five categories including lack of policymaking in virtual care, ethical challenges in virtual information and communication technology, social, economic and cultural issues, IT users' insufficient knowledge and limitation of virtual care scope of practice.
conclusionThe findings of the present study identified different barriers in the implementation of virtual care for patients with chronic wounds. In order to successfully develop a virtual care programme, it is necessary to adopt suitable policies regarding information and communication technology, provide the necessary legal frameworks, assign an adequate budget and consider the ethical, cultural, social and social issues. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Identifying barriers to developing a virtual care programme will help manage patients with chronic wounds at home. IMPACT: This study accurately identifies barriers to providing virtual care for patients with chronic wounds and helps plan to address these barriers and facilitate the development of a virtual care programme for these patients at home. REPORTING
