Evaluation of the Virtual Multidisciplinary Team Meeting Model for Adult Patients on Haemodialysis: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face multidisciplinary team meetings evolved to virtual platforms. Healthcare professionals' experiences of virtual multidisciplinary team meetings is unknown, and it is not clear whether virtual meetings are a feasible long-term alternative in the post pandemic era.
objectiveTo explore the experiences and perceptions of members of the multidisciplinary team managing people with kidney disease regarding virtual meetings.
designSemi-structured interviews were conducted. Maximal variation sampling was used to ensure adequate representation by gender and professional roles. All interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim, before being analysed by two researchers independently using the Theoretical Domains Framework. A third researcher was then referred to for resolving any disagreements.
participantsMembers of the nephrology multidisciplinary team meeting. MEASUREMENTS: Health professionals' experiences and perspectives of virtual multidisciplinary team meetings.
resultsOf the nine participants interviewed, six were females and the majority were nurses. Most of the participants were aged 30-40 years. Three main themes emerged within the three primary domains: impact on staff and patient outcomes; limited technological skills, and opportunities for improvement. From the four intermediate domains, another four themes were captured: professional responsibility; impact on engagement; barriers to participation; and desire to provide optimal patient care.
conclusionsHealthcare professionals of a single centre nephrology care team reported that virtual multidisciplinary meetings overcame geographic barriers and infection control restrictions, and offered possibilities for broader inclusivity. However, strategies are needed to overcome technological issues, improve participants' skills to navigate technology, and optimize active participation.
