Testing scenarios for using telepresence robots in healthcare settings.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
The ageing global population puts heavy pressure on healthcare systems everywhere. Addressing ageing-related chronic conditions requires employment of novel innovative solutions. Telehealth technologies, including telepresence robots (TPRs), are being rapidly developed to provide healthcare services efficiently wherever needed. This article explores the role of TPRs in addressing the challenges of providing healthcare to an ageing population, emphasizing their potential advantages and drawbacks. Employing an exploratory research approach with qualitative data collection techniques, we tested three TPR usage scenarios in simulated healthcare settings: anamnesis, measurements, and falls and frailty. The study employed a non-random purposive sample comprising 25 participants, and was conducted at a medical facility in June 2023. The findings suggest that TPRs offer promising solutions for healthcare professionals and patients, especially in scenarios when physical presence is impossible or physical isolation is required to prevent contagion. However, the technology is not yet ready to substitute fully human medical workers, potentially causing patient reluctance and emphasizing the need for patient-centered approaches to technology adoption. In addition, more studies are needed to address ethical, privacy, and scalability concerns.
