[Effectiveness of interventions based on telemedicine on health outcomes in patients with multimorbidity in Primary Care: A systematic review].
Synthesis in Atencion primaria, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05593835 (Protocol for a Cluster Randomised Trial of a Goal-Oriented Care Approach for Multimorbidity Patients Supported by a Digital Platform), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine interventions to improve health outcomes in patients with multiple morbidities in Primary Health Care.
designA systematic review. DATA SOURCES: INAHTA, Health Guidelines, NICE, Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed and EMBASE up to April 2018. STUDY SELECTION: Inclusion criteria: patients (adults with 2 or more chronic diseases or a Charlson index greater than three); intervention (telemedicine intervention developed entirely in Primary Health Care); comparator (usual care); health outcomes (mortality, hospital admissions, emergency department visits, health-related quality of life, and satisfaction); study design(clinical practice guideline, systematic review, meta-analysis, randomised controlled clinical trial),and quasi-experimental design). English and Spanish language publication. A total of236 references were located. DATA EXTRACTION: Duplicated articles were removed. Titles, abstracts, and full text of references identified were assessed using the selection criteria; methodological quality assessment; data extraction, and qualitative analysis.
resultsFive articles, corresponding to 3 studies, were included, with 2 randomised controlled clinical trials and one quasi-experimental design. No significant results were observed in reducing mortality or improving health-related quality of life. The effectiveness of telemedicine on the number of hospital admissions or emergency visits showed contradictory results. Satisfaction was not measured in the studies included.
conclusionsThe relatively small number of studies, heterogeneity characteristics, and methodological limitations did not confirm the effectiveness of telemedicine intervention on the improvement of mortality, number of hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and health-related quality of life, compared to usual care.
