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
objectiveTelemedicine, as an information-based tool, is widely recognized as an effective solution for compensating for the imbalanced allocation of medical resources in China. This study specifi-cally aimed to analyze the impact of telemedicine functions on the operational efficiency of public hospitals, with a particular focus on their heterogeneous effects on hospitals of different levels.
methodsA cross-sectional research design was used based on the 2022 Health Informatization Statistical Survey data, and 8 944 public hospitals were used as research objects to analyze the impact of telemedicine on hospital revenues and business capacity. Multivariate linear model, propensity score matching (PSM), and grouped regression methods were employed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on hospital revenues, number of consultations, and the number of discharges.
resultsThe descriptive results showed that telemedicine was available in 35.51% of public hospitals. The analysis also demonstrated that various factors, such as hospital level, academic category, area of the hospital, administrational level and number of beds all had a significant influence on the operation of the hospital. Moreover, the regression results showed that opening telemedicine could increase hospital revenues by 0.140 (
conclusionTelemedicine had a significant promoting effect on hospital revenues, hospital consultations and the number of discharges, and this effect was differentiated between hospitals of different levels. Through the construction of telemedicine, primary hospitals were able to significantly improve their business capacity and revenue, which played a positive role in improving the operation of primary public hospitals.
