First real-world implementation of video-based emergency calls (VEC) in Germany: from vision to reality.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 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
Emergency call handling relies primarily on verbal information, which is often constrained by stress, language barriers, and limited situational awareness. This article describes the conceptual design and real-world implementation of video-assisted emergency calls (VEC) at the Freiburg dispatch center (Public Safety Answering Point, PSAP). Building on longstanding experience with innovative digital dispatch solutions, the Freiburg system integrates real-time video as a dispatcher-controlled, supplementary information channel, next to the voice call, within existing emergency call workflows. The approach is characterized by defined cases, standardized activation procedures, dedicated dispatcher training including psychological safeguards, and a security-focused IT architecture separated from critical dispatch infrastructure. The Freiburg model demonstrates a structured, pragmatic, and scalable pathway for responsibly integrating live video into emergency dispatch operations.
