A simulation based digital twin approach to assessing the organization of response to emergency calls.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 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
In emergency situations, timely contact with emergency medical communication centers (EMCCs) is critical for patient outcomes. Increasing call volumes and economic constraints are challenging many countries, necessitating organizational changes in EMCCs. This study uses a simulation-based digital twin approach, creating a virtual model of EMCC operations to assess the impact of different organizational scenarios on accessibility. Specifically, we explore two decompartmentalized scenarios where traditionally isolated call centers are reorganized to enable more flexible call distribution. The primary measure of accessibility was service quality within 30 s of call reception. Our results show that decompartmentalization improves service quality by 17% to 21%. This study demonstrates that reducing regional isolation in EMCCs can enhance performance and accessibility with a simulation-based digital twin approach providing a clear and objective method to quantify the benefits."
