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

Virtual health hospitals have been on the rise significantly since COVID-19 globally. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has established several initiatives as part of Vision 2030, where Tele/Virtual Health is key part of this vision. The purpose of this review is to evaluate and establish the expected challenges and the potential value in virtual hospitals in Saudi Arabia. It also aims to identify and analyze gaps in existing knowledge to ideally aid the planning and commissioning of future research on this subject. Results of this review highlight several themes from the literature evolved as follow: 1) need for improvement in Saudi healthcare, 2) emergence of virtual healthcare due to COVID-19, 3) Virtual healthcare has many pros and cons to consider, and, 4) Virtual healthcare has many challenges.
