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

objectiveThis study examined whether patients who had been nonadherent with outpatient appointments and who were randomly assigned to receive treatment through a telepsychiatry intervention (home-based video teleconferencing) would show improvement in adherence to appointments, compared with a treatment-as-usual group.

methodsParticipants (N=22) were randomly assigned to home-based video teleconferencing or to outpatient treatment as usual during a six-month study. The primary outcome measure was improvement in visit adherence, which was analyzed using a two-sample t test.

resultsPercentage improvement in visit adherence did not differ significantly between the telepsychiatry and treatment-as-usual groups (14%, compared with 15%). A greater number of participants in the telepsychiatry group reported less subjective difficulty in keeping appointments.

conclusionsA small number of participants, short study period, selection bias, and the Hawthorne effect may have limited measured impact in this study. The findings implied that visit nonadherence among frequently nonadherent individuals is largely unrelated to inconvenience.
