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

Aims: Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of mortality. Traditional face-to-face cardiovascular care, while effective, poses challenges such as travel burdens and accessibility issues. Video consultations offer a modern solution, improving access and efficiency while reducing patient strain. This study investigates patient acceptance of video consultations in cardiovascular care using a survey-based approach, assessing key factors influencing their integration into routine practice. Methods and results: A cross-sectional study including patients attending a cardiological university hospital was conducted. Acceptance of video consultations and its associated factors were assessed using a modified assessment instrument based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The study comprised 337 participants ( Conclusion: We identified moderate acceptance of video consultations in cardiology, with education, digital confidence, eHealth literacy, and PE as key factors associated with acceptance. Despite low prior use, perceived ease of use and SI were most strongly associated with acceptance. Addressing technical concerns and promoting digital literacy may enhance adoption, improving access to remote cardiac care.
