Acute medicine 2050: A connected future of care.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 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
By 2050, acute medicine will function within a substantially transformed clinical and organisational landscape. Demographic pressures, environmental change and rapid advances in digital and biological technologies will reshape how acute illness is recognised, triaged and treated. Acute care will increasingly function as a connected, anticipatory system spanning hospitals, homes and virtual environments, enabled by continuous monitoring, intelligent decision support and precision diagnostics. These developments offer the potential to smooth demand, anticipate deterioration and reduce avoidable admission while ensuring timely escalation for patients who need hospital-level care. Delivering this vision will require interoperable digital infrastructure, improved workforce models and deeper integration across the acute care pathway. Despite these advances, the defining purpose of acute medicine will endure, responding decisively and compassionately to people at moments of need. Acute medicine will act as the adaptive clinical core within future urgent and emergency care systems.
