The Digital Library of Health Care Consultations and Simulated Health Care Student Teaching: Protocol for a Repository of Recordings to Support Communication Research.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMiscommunication in health care is a major source of poor health outcomes, complaints about health care professionals, and poor patient satisfaction. Recordings from real-life consultations provide valuable data for communication research and education. Additionally, recordings from simulation-based education of health care students can provide valuable data for health care education research.
objectiveThe Digital Library is a data repository supporting high-quality health care communication research. This is the single-source citation for all projects that use the Digital Library in Australia.
methodsThis protocol outlines the logistics and consent process for recording and safely storing the recordings of health care consultations and simulation-based education. The processes are outlined for primary health care settings and health care educational settings as well as for health care narratives from consumers. The repository will be used to answer research questions about health care communication and provide a valuable resource for health care education.
resultsData collection for the Digital Library commenced in 2023 and is ongoing at the time of submission of this protocol. The Digital Library has been approved by Monash University's Human Research Ethics Committee.
conclusionsThe Digital Library will provide a national resource for the study of health care communication in community settings, general practice, and other environments. The health care narratives may be a valuable resource for sharing the patient perspective when living with different conditions. The research that uses this repository will be shared through regular academic channels as well as the community-based dissemination strategies of the National Centre for Healthy Ageing.
