The use of telemedicine for delivering healthcare to bariatric surgery patients: A literature review.
Review in Journal of telemedicine and telecare, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 36 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.

Abstract
Introduction Bariatric weight loss surgery is one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity. Research shows that the availability of healthcare services pre and post bariatric surgery improves behavioural change and weight loss outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the evidence relating to the use of telemedicine for providing health services to bariatric surgery patients. Methods A search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycNET and SCOPUS. Original research relating to telemedicine for bariatric surgery patients published in peer-reviewed journals were included. Results Database search returned 258 references and a total of 10 studies were included in the review. Six studies assessed use, feasibility and acceptance of telemedicine by patients/practitioners. Studies also examined the use of telemedicine for weight loss, changes in physical activity, diet/eating or other behavioural changes. Two studies were randomised controlled trials; one showed a significant difference in outcomes between intervention and control group. Discussion This review suggests that telemedicine may be a potential method for providing healthcare services to bariatric surgery patients. However, the current evidence base does not allow for definitive conclusions.
