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

Electronic consultation (econsultation) has proven effective in optimizing communication between primary care and cardiology, reducing waiting times and unnecessary face-to-face referrals. This study assessed the impact of incorporating tele-echocardiography and event-based electrocardiographic monitoring (EEM) into an advanced e-consultation model. A prospective observational cohort of 1200 consecutive e-consultations was analysed; in 354 cases, the advanced pathway was activated, including 300 tele-echocardiograms and 54 EEM studies. Remote resolution increased from 38.0% in the traditional model to 54.3% in the advanced model (
