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

backgroundThe online diagnosis and treatment model based on 5th generation mobile communication (5G) technology is one of the important ways to solve the imbalance between supply and demand of medical services.

objectiveWe systematically summarized Chinese and English literature on the application of 5G technology in the field of wireless medical and conducted a literature feature analysis.

methodsWe used bibliometrics to quantitatively analyze the research trends and hot topics and comparatively analyzed the differences between research in China and other countries.

resultsThis study analyzed 1344 articles and found that China provided the most funding (531 [75.32%]) and far outnumbered other countries in this field (1014 vs 330), but the quality of articles and effective collaboration between authors need to be improved. The hot topics in this field have gradually shifted from the construction of 5G internet hospitals during the COVID-19 to the construction of smart hospitals based on the Internet of Medical Things, and the research focus has gradually shifted from the data transmission layer such as wearable devices to the application layer of smart medical services.

conclusionResearchers can further refine the specific application of 5G technology in the field of wireless medical from the 3 major areas of the smart hospital system.
