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

Unlabelled: Lishui, a mountainous city in Zhejiang Province, China, is characterized by extensive mountainous terrain and a dispersed population. To address this issue, Lishui has introduced the intelligent mobile clinic service. This model leverages 5G technology and integrates the benefits of mobile clinics and telehealth, tailored to the region's geography and demographic characteristics. The intelligent mobile clinic uses real-time data analysis to deliver medical services effectively to remote mountainous areas. Medical personnel from the intelligent mobile clinic visit villages to provide in-person professional health services and facilitate residents' access to higher-level hospital resources through telehealth. This model has received widespread praise and recognition from residents and has yielded significant outcomes. During 2018-2023, a total of 25,000 visits have been made, benefiting 648,000 individuals. The intelligent mobile clinic provides a valuable reference for enhancing health care access in similar regions.
