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

Introduction: The online body camera system (OBCS) integrates telemedicine technology with real-time monitoring of on-scene operations, direct online medical direction, and coordinated patient care. This study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness compared with the traditional telephone-based medical oversight system. Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the effectiveness of OBCS in prehospital emergency care of Ramathibodi Hospital by comparing outcomes (survival rate, length of stay) between the traditional telephone-based (2014-2021) and the OBCS periods (2022-2024) in emergency medical operation unit. Results: This 11-year retrospective cohort study analyzed 5,721 prehospital emergency care cases (3,398 cases managed under the traditional telephone-based system and 2,323 cases managed under the OBCS). The findings indicate that the implementation of the OBCS significantly improved overall survival to emergency department (ED) arrival (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 8.32, 95% CI: 1.47-47.14, P = 0.017), particularly among out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients (aOR = 7.99, 95% CI: 1.28-50.03, P = 0.026). However, the new system did not result in significant improvements in survival to hospital admission or survival to hospital discharge. Furthermore, the length of stay (LOS) in the ED, intensive care unit (ICU), and overall hospital setting remained unchanged. Conclusions: The OBCS significantly enhanced survival to ED arrival, particularly among OHCA patients. However, the LOS in the ED, ICU, and overall hospital setting remained unchanged.
