The Implementation Requirements of a Virtual Care Program for Patients With Chronic Wounds: A Qualitative Study.
Article in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study aimed to identify the requirements for implementing a virtual care programme for patients with chronic wounds. It was conducted in two consecutive phases: (1) scoping review, (2) descriptive qualitative study. In the first phase, texts published in English until 2024 were identified using international databases. Data analysis was carried out using textual content analysis. In the second phase, 12 participants from Iranian wound care clinics participated. Data were collected through focus group discussion and analysed using conventional content analysis. Integration of both phases was conducted in the data analysis stage. The most important requirements for the implementation of the virtual care programme for patients with chronic wounds were identified in five main categories, including providing a basic infrastructure for virtual care, changing users' views on acceptance, the presence of competent specialised wound therapists, the necessity of teamwork and interprofessional cooperation of specialists, and the existence of a suitable platform equipped with video conferencing software. The findings of this study provide good practical guidance for policymakers and health system decision-makers to develop and implement virtual care programmes in the wound and other health care domains.
