Telemedicine vs Office Visits in a Movement Disorders Clinic: Comparative Satisfaction of Physicians and Patients.
Article in Movement disorders clinical practice, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
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
objectiveTo compare patient and physician satisfaction between home-based telemedicine visits and office visits for follow-up care within a movement disorders program.
methodsPatients were offered telemedicine visits as follow-up care. After telemedicine visits, a questionnaire of items along a 10-point Likert Scale (10 = most satisfied) assessed patient and overall physician satisfaction, comparing the experience to past in-office visits.
resultsPatients and physicians were highly satisfied with the telemedicine experience, both groups having median endorsement scores of 9.25 and 10.0, respectively (response range 6-10), and furthermore, favoring future telemedicine visits when feasible. Although some assessments could not be performed (postural stability, rigidity), physicians likewise favored having future telemedicine visits (median score 10, range 5.0-10).
conclusionsThis direct comparison of patient satisfaction with telemedicine visits to previously experienced office visits strongly supports telemedicine care, with patients highlighting convenience, time, and expense. Despite some limitations with telemedicine, physicians expressed highly rated quality-of-service provided.
