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

Background: Challenges in emergency medicine include overcrowding, insufficient emergency care resources, and extended emergency department (ED) waiting times. These issues contribute to delays in treatment and unfavorable outcomes. This situation worsens in events with large crowds and particularly worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. The integration of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses could potentially enhance patient care in the ED. Objective: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of AR smart glasses in reducing patient care time in the ED during the 19th Asian Games and the Fourth Asian Para Games Hangzhou 2022 (HAG2022). The study specifically compares the prepreparation time (PPT) and consult response time (CRT) in patients receiving teleconsultations via AR smart glasses versus those receiving standard care without AR. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between September 13, 2023, and October 28, 2023, during HAG2022. The data were gathered from AR smart glasses using 5G technology at the HAG2022 village and electronic health records at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, China. The study included 2 groups: the teleconsultation by augmented reality telemedicine system (ARTS) group and the non-ARTS group. The main data assessed were PPT and CRT in ED. Results: During the research period, 80 patients were divided into 2 cohorts: the ARTS cohort (n=10) and the non-ARTS cohort (n=70). Gender and age demographics showed no significant differences between the cohorts. The ARTS cohort had a significantly lower average PPT of 23 minutes compared to the non-ARTS cohort's 40.3 minutes (P<.001). In addition, CRT in the ARTS cohort was significantly lower at 15.6 minutes compared to the non-ARTS cohort's 164.8 minutes (P=.03). The outcomes suggest that smart glasses are effective in decreasing PPT and CRT. Conclusions: AR smart glasses have the potential to enhance patient admission efficiency and reduce care time in EDs. However, despite these benefits, further research is needed to confirm their effectiveness, and additional studies are essential to identify the challenges and barriers to their successful implementation in emergency medicine.
