Virtual Health Care in Hospital-at-Home Models for Patients With Acute Infections: A Scoping Review.
Review in Mayo Clinic proceedings. Digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Given the imbalance between high care demand and strained hospital capacity, hospital-at-home (HaH) models offer a potential solution by providing hospital-level care in patients' homes. This scoping review maps the literature on hospital-led virtual health care within HaH models for acute infections, focusing on intervention characteristics and evaluation designs. Following Johanna Briggs Institute guidelines and PRISMA-ScR, we included studies on virtual and hybrid HaH models using telemedicine for remote monitoring and interventions. The literature searches were performed from October 3, 2022 to October 22, 2022, and updated on July 11, 2024 and identified 15,062 potentially relevant records. From these, 79 studies met the inclusion criteria, highlighting the diversity of HaH models and their evaluations. Hybrid models provided broader treatment options, but many studies lacked detailed intervention descriptions, complicating implementation and meta-analyses. Most studies evaluated patient outcomes, with limited attention to health care staff and relatives. Nearly 45,000 participants were assessed, but only 254 participated in randomized controlled trials, indicating a need for more high-level evidence. Relevant gaps remain, including model heterogeneity and inconsistent reporting.
