ReviewDiabetes & metabolic syndrome
Telemedicine for diabetes care in India during COVID19 pandemic and national lockdown period: Guidelines for physicians.
Review in Diabetes & metabolic syndrome. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 111 papers, 8 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.
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.

aimsIn view of restrictions on mobility of patients because of COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face consultations are difficult. We sought to study the feasibility of telemedicine in this scenario.
methodsPubMed and Google Scholar search engines were searched using the key terms 'telemedicine', 'diabetes', 'COVID-19 up to 31
resultsWe discuss evidence and general guidelines regarding role of telemedicine in patients with diabetes along with its utility and limitations.
conclusionsTelemedicine is a useful tool for managing patients of diabetes during this lockdown period. However, there is limited data and further research is required.
