Online Care Versus In-Person Care for Improving Quality of Life in Psoriasis: A Randomized Controlled Equivalency Trial.
Trial report in The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02358135 (Collaborative Connected Health), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
This 12-month, pragmatic, randomized controlled equivalency trial evaluated whether an online, collaborative connected-health model results in equivalent improvements in quality of life compared with in-person care for psoriasis. Overall, 296 adults with physician-diagnosed psoriasis from ambulatory clinics were randomly assigned to either online or in-person care; all were analyzed for outcomes. In the online group, patients and primary care providers sought dermatologists' care directly and asynchronously online. The in-person group sought care face to face. Interventions did not allow blinding of participants; investigators were blinded during analysis. Across 12 months, for the online group, the mean ± standard deviation decline in Skindex-16 from baseline across follow-up visits was 9.02 ± 20.67 compared with 10.55 ± 23.50 for the in-person group. The difference in Skindex-16 between the two groups was -0.83 (95% confidence interval = -5.18 to 3.51), and this was within the equivalence margin (±7.0). For the online group, the mean ± standard deviation decline in Dermatology Life Quality Index was 1.64 ± 4.34 compared with 1.18 ± 4.77 for the in-person group. The difference in Dermatology Life Quality Index between the two groups was -0.45 (95% confidence interval = -1.29 to 0.38) and was within the equivalence margin (±2.5). In conclusion, the online model was as effective as in-person care in improving quality of life among psoriasis patients. This study was funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and is registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02358135).
