1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHealth care service is worsening in the remote villages due to less complete and further away of healthcare facilities and service and makes this service costs compared to those of urban people. Telemedicine service provides a potential solution regarding this particular issue. This study provides empirical evidence of the benefits package consists of hypothetical telemedicine service and evaluates the economic benefit of telemedicine service.

methodsThe study measures marginal willingness-to-pay (MWTP) responses to policy change on a sample (n = 203) observations. A randomized conjoint experiment has conducted in 7 remote villages of 3 coastal districts of the southwest coastal region of Bangladesh. Each respondent ranks 3 options-two hypothetical alternatives and the telemedicine status quo scheme. The level of attributes-payment for telemedicine service, sample collection from home, medicine delivery to home, capitation through online technology, service delivery frequency, and blood pressure and glucose measure at home-are randomly and jointly assigned to the 2 alternatives. RESULTS AND

conclusionsCoastal villagers would like to pay more in option 4 and above. The lower payment for telemedicine service does not necessarily imply low demand for telemedicine, as the findings from MWTP illustrate potential demand for telemedicine in coastal villages in Bangladesh.
