Drones in Health Care-A Flying Potential.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The application of unmanned aerial vehicles or drone use is increasing in all sectors including the field of health sector. Its use in the health sector can be broadly classified under Public health and Disaster Relief, Medical Transport, and Telemedicine. The advantages of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles or drones in health care are immense as they can reach inaccessible areas, decrease travel time, and are unmanned which makes them appropriate to be used in disasters. As the challenges of payload capacity, flying range, and cost-effectiveness are expected to be met in near future, they could prove to be flying potential for various sectors in health care.
