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

The aim of the SYRIACA project was to test the capability of a social robot to perform specific tasks in healthcare settings, reducing infection risks for patients and caregivers. The robot was piloted in an Intensive Hematological Unit, where the patients' and healthcare operators' acceptability of the robot was evaluated. The robot's functions, including logistics, surveillance, entertainment, and remote visits, were well accepted. Patients expressed interest in having multiple interactions with the robot, which testifies to its engaging potential and that it provides useful services. During remote visits, the robot reduced perceived stress among patients, alleviating feelings of isolation. The successful implementation of the robot suggests its potential to enhance safety and well-being in healthcare settings.
