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
backgroundThis study aims to assess anaesthesiologists' understanding and attitudes toward utilizing telehealth for pre-anaesthesia evaluations (PAEs) in instances where a scheduled surgery is deferred to the procedure day due to hospital or patient-related reasons. METHODOLOGY: This observational cross-sectional study involved anaesthesiologists with over six months of hospital experience, opting to participate voluntarily. Non-probability sampling was employed for participant selection. The study's objectives were communicated, and consent was obtained. Data were recorded in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using STATA 12.0.
resultsOf the 237 participating anaesthetists, 155 were aged 21 to 40. Notably, 88.6% (n=210) expressed interest in advanced telemedicine learning, and 77.6% (n=184) were keen on its implementation. Common sources of information included tele-diagnosis (n=194), tele-education, counselling (n=147), and tele-surveillance, with additional input from telesurgery, tele-triage, tele-monitoring, and teleradiology.
conclusionThe study highlights anaesthetists' strong enthusiasm for adopting advanced telemedicine and teleconferencing. Predominant information sources included tele-diagnosis, tele-education, tele-counselling, and tele-surveillance. The majority endorsed the potential of telemedicine to aid patients, expressing comfort in using it for pre-anaesthesia examinations.
