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

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented need for virtual healthcare that was safe, acceptable and feasible to deliver. In May 2020, we launched the Long-term In-Home Ventilator Engagement (LIVE) program for ventilator assisted individuals using ventilators hosted on an e-platform in Ontario, Canada. Objectives: To assess the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility and usability of the LIVE program reported by patients, family caregivers, and healthcare providers (HCP). Design and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study. We provided HCPs participating in the LIVE program anonymized questionnaires (Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM), and mHealth App Usability (MAUQ). Patients and family caregivers completed the AIM and MAUQ. Questionnaires were administered via an e-platform. Results: We recruited 105/251 (42%) patients and family caregivers and 42/48 (87.5%) HCPs. Patients and caregivers rated a mean (SD) overall AIM score of 4.3 (0.7) (maximum score 5; higher scores indicate greater acceptability) and a mean (SD) overall MAUQ score of 5.8 (1.5) (maximum score 7; higher scores indicate greater useability). HCPs rated a mean (SD) overall AIM score of 4.3 (0.7), IAM score of 4.3 (0.8), FIM score of 4.2 (0.7) and overall MAUQ score of 5.6 ± 1.5. There were no differences in AIM ((4.3 (0.7) vs 4.3 (0.8), Interpretation: This study suggests that the LIVE program was acceptable, appropriate, feasible, and usable from the perspective of patients, family caregivers and HCPs.
