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

Intensive care units (ICUs) are increasingly striving to provide cost-effective and value-based support. To meet this trend, digital solutions might offer appropriate opportunities for delivering remote, personalized follow-up services. However, it remains unclear whether digital solutions align with survivors' preferences to improve post-ICU quality of life. The aim was to explore the value-based experiences related to digital follow-up services among critical care survivors. A qualitative design, with focus group interviews from May through October 2023, was conducted with critical care survivors recruited from four European countries. A thematic approach was used to analyze the data. Twenty-two participants were included, of whom half were women (n = 11). Three main themes were categorized: (1) powerless and uncontrolled, a search for regaining life; (2) adequate digital information; and (3) the role of technology and appropriate functionalities according to users' wishes. Overall findings across the four European countries highlighted value-based preferences such as personalized online information delivery, the possibility of e-consults with healthcare professionals, and digital access to peer support.
