Telemedicine and Older Neurology Outpatients: Use of NHS Direct and of the Internet in the UK.
Article in Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Telemedicine is one potential approach to address the under-serviced health needs of older people. This article presents data from a project investigating neurology patients' awareness and use of the NHS Direct telephone helpline and the Internet over a 10-year period (2001-2010). Older people's awareness and use of the NHS Direct telephone helpline was low compared to other age groups and did not change with time. Although Internet access and use was also low compared to other age groups, access did increase over time. Hence, future generations of older people may be amenable to health contacts and inputs via cyberspace.
