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

backgroundSynchronous video teleconsultations are being increasingly used in various fields of medical care. Its feasibility, safety and advantages have been demonstrated in neonatal office practice in our unit.

methodsThis prospective study was conducted to measure proportion of parents of low-risk neonates who utliized teleconsultations for postnatal follow-up.

resultsOf 844 eligible families, 22.3% used the service. Lactation queries (57.1%) about feeding schedules and perceived less milk related excess cry predominated. Enquiries related to skincare (36.5%) and sleep-wake cycle (30.1%) were common. Only 3.8% were advised to report to the hospital for physical assesssment.

conclusionsThe number of families who engaged in the teleconsultations with the neonatologist were less than anticipated. However among those who did, majority of the concerns could be resolved without the need for physical hospital visits.
