Virtual 'robot' ward rounds: older trauma patients' perceptions of inpatient virtual consultations.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Use of telemedicine has increased following the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic; however, much of the literature is based in outpatient settings. There have also historically been concerns about the efficacy of telemedicine in older patients. This service evaluation implemented virtual consultations into the ward-round setting, using a 'robot' device. Twenty-six older patients undergoing major trauma surgery were surveyed, with all reporting very high satisfaction rates. Ninety percent of patients were 'very happy' or 'happy' with the remote consultations, and 83% found the technology 'easy' or 'very easy' to use. This evaluation is limited by small participant numbers and did not research health outcomes following virtual consultations. To conclude, the use of 'robots' to deliver remote consultations to patients is feasible and welcomed by most patients.
