Role of telemedicine in providing tertiary neurological care.
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
opinion statementRemote consultation via telemedicine for neurologic indications is in the mainstream. This holds most true for cerebrovascular concerns such as acute stroke, but its use has extended into most of the breadth of neurologic subspecialty practice. This is ostensibly a major advance for enhancing access to neurologic specialty care and a path toward better outcomes overall. Currently, there is a lack of randomized controlled trials and health economic analyses to support this conclusion. The continued use and expansion of teleneurologic practice is encouraged, so long as it is accompanied by clinical data tracking and leads to more randomized controlled trials. A solid evidence base should be established for its use such that future trials and monetary investments can be made with a better understanding of what teleneurology has to offer patients and society.
