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

backgroundTelemedicine is a suitable vehicle to facilitate collaboration among hospitals across borders, with the COVID-19 pandemic paving the way for rapidly growing tele-intensive care (TICU) networks, aiming to improve quality of care. Hitherto there are no validated instruments to assess and evaluate performance in international TICU collaboration.

methodsWe conducted a prospective, structured survey development study with a single-step online expert consensus approach and a pilot application.

resultsWe propose a 26-indicator TICU-Feedback-Tool assessing user-friendliness, subjective benefit and usability, acceptance and potential for improvement in TICU networks. The instrument is suitable for self-reporting by online questionnaire.

conclusionWe suggest a pilot version of a feedback questionnaire for quality management in (inter-)national TICU networks that will be subject to revisions in the future.
