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

backgroundTimely access to a neurologist is essential for optimal management of acute stroke. To address disparities in neurological care within the SEHA Healthcare Network, the LEO360® AI-assisted tele-stroke robot was implemented at Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Medical City (STMC) and Al Tawam Hospital.

methodsThis case series presents six patients evaluated remotely via the LEO360® platform. Key metrics included consultation time, transfer rates, and system performance. Data were contextualized using pre-implementation benchmarks, and both AI functionalities and telepresence capabilities were analyzed. Challenges, ethical considerations, and system limitations were also examined.

resultsThe average neurologist consultation time was 10.7 minutes. In 80% of cases, unnecessary interfacility transfers were avoided. The integration of AI-assisted decision support enhanced assessment efficiency and diagnostic confidence.

conclusionThe LEO360® tele-stroke system demonstrates strong potential to improve access, efficiency, and accuracy in acute stroke management. Its successful implementation underscores the scalability of AI-assisted telemedicine in regions facing neurology workforce shortages, offering a sustainable model for acute neurological care.
