Patient Satisfaction With Videoconferencing-based Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorders.
Article in Addictive disorders & their treatment, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectivesThe objectives of this study are (1) to compare the satisfaction between patients who have received treatment as usual face-to-face (TAU group) and patients who have received optional videoconferencing-based treatment for alcohol use disorders (TAU+I group); and (2) to elaborate on the TAU+I group's satisfaction with the treatment in general and the technical equipment.
methodsThe design consisted of mixed methods: a survey and a qualitative study. Data consisted of self-reported data from questionnaires filled out by both groups and semistructured interviews with the TAU+I group. Data from the questionnaires were analyzed statistically using Stata. The semistructured interviews were analyzed using a general inductive approach.
resultsThe survey indicated that the TAU+I group and TAU group were equally satisfied with the elements in the treatment. The interview indicated that the TAU+I group seemed to have a high satisfaction with most elements in the treatment. Patients who used videoconferencing were satisfied with establishing the videoconferencing connection and with the picture quality but less satisfied with the sound quality.
conclusionsOverall, the patients were satisfied with the treatment. We saw a nonsignificant tendency that the TAU+I group were more satisfied with the treatment in general, compared with the TAU group. It is a possibility that patients in this group felt more satisfied with the treatment as they had the opportunity to choose videoconferencing. Offering videoconferencing-based treatment may be a positive feature in the treatment and lead to improved outcomes of the treatment courses. The technical equipment and routine using it should be improved in future studies or during implementation.
