[Teleconsultation for vascular- and diabetes-associated chronic wounds : A systematic review of health-related and economic implications].
Synthesis in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn addition to lowering the quality of life of those affected, long periods of treatment and high recurrence rates of chronic wounds cause major economic costs for health care systems. Furthermore, inadequate health care and undersupply of care can be observed in Germany. Thus, new forms of care such as teleconsultation are being discussed increasingly. Recent changes in the remuneration system and macerations in the ban of remote treatment support those trends.
methodsA systematic review was conducted in July 2018 using PubMed and CENTRAL databases for randomized controlled trials between 2008 and 2018. Only randomized clinical trials in which patients with chronic wound who received treatment and follow-up by teleconsultation using information and communication technology to share data were included. In total, 6 international clinical trials were identified.
resultsRegarding the current state of research, there is no definite evidence that teleconsultation can improve the care of chronic wound patients. Most likely, wound healing time was positively influenced. No correlation was found between mortality and hospitalizations when teleconsultation was used.
conclusionOn the basis of the included studies, the evidence for the care of chronic wounds by teleconsultation is unclear. Further research is needed to examine the health-related and economic benefits of teleconsultation to support integration into health care systems.
