Virtual Nurse-Led Patient Education: A Public Health Opportunity.
Article in Delaware journal of public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Virtual nursing is an evolving care delivery model in which registered nurses use secure telehealth technology to provide remote clinical support that compliments bedside care. Although initially adopted to address workforce shortages and workflow inefficiencies, virtual nursing has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering patient education. Patient education is a core nursing responsibility essential to medication adherence, chronic disease self-management, and continuity of care, yet it is often hindered by time constraints, interruptions in clinical settings, and health literacy. This paper examines virtual nurse-led education as an effective approach to improve patient understanding, engagement, and health outcomes. Virtual education models, delivered through fully remote or hybrid approaches, provide standardized yet personalized instruction, protected teaching time, and continuity of care beyond discharge. Despite challenges related to digital access and health equity, well designed virtual nursing programs offer a scalable, patient centered strategy to enhance education, reduce preventable readmissions, and support public health goals.
