Physicians' experiences, attitudes and challenges in a Pediatric Telemedicine Service.

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
backgroundTelemedicine in general, and telephone triage, in particular, is considered a high-stress clinical activity and involves decision making under conditions of uncertainty and urgency.
aimWe wanted to explore the experiences, attitudes, and challenges of the physicians in a Pediatric Telemedicine Service operated in Israel, and to explore whether the doctors are using non-medical factors (not related to the medical problem), when making the clinical decisions in this setting.
methodsWe used a qualitative methodology in order to obtain rich data that would reflect the participants' subjective experiences. Fifteen physicians who worked during the last 5 years in the "Pediatrician Online of Clalit" service were interviewed. Data were analyzed thematically.
findingsSeven main themes concerning the physicians' challenges during their work at this service were revealed, including difficulties diagnosing from a distance, treating unfamiliar patients, working alone, urgency and load of calls, technological obstacles, and a "moral conflict" between the desire to meet parents' expectations and maintain standards of care. The physicians stated that non-medical factors also affect their decisions.
conclusionsIn telemedicine setting, physicians face various difficulties and challenges, requiring special expertise, qualities and skills. Special measures are needed to obtain proper diagnosis and decisions.
