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

aimTo co-create a digital education and training programme that actively engages healthcare professionals, patients and their families, preparing them for effective participation in cross-sectoral virtual consultations.

designThis action research study was conducted through three iterative workshops involving hospital and primary care professionals, general practitioners, municipal nurses, patients, relatives and researchers. Data were collected from group discussions, field notes and visual materials and analysed thematically.

resultsThe co-creation process identified essential competencies in communication, technical proficiency, meeting leadership and patient engagement. These were translated into eight targeted learning modules and an explainer video, forming an accessible digital training platform. The Calgary-Cambridge guide informed the communication framework used within the learning modules to support patient-centred virtual care. Stakeholder feedback confirmed the programme's relevance, usability and potential for broader implementation.

conclusionThe study demonstrates that collaborative, practice-based co-creation supports the development of digital and communicative competencies across sectors. The resulting platform offers a transferable model for integrating virtual consultations in future healthcare education and practice. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Patients and relatives actively participated in workshops, significantly contributing to content identification, platform development and the emphasis on patient-centred communication.
