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
Telemedicine has traditionally been used in rural areas, but the recent development of mHealth solutions has led to a growth in urban telemedicine services. The aim of this study was to determine whether urban and rural patients in a large academic medical center use telemedicine to access different healthcare specialties at different rates. This retrospective cohort study examined all telemedicine visits dated 2008-2017 at a large academic medical center. Visits were classified by clinical specialty. Teledermatology, child telepsychiatry, and adult telepsychiatry made up 97 percent of telemedicine visits. Rural patients were more likely to have multiple telehealth visits. A significant difference was observed between rural and urban use of telemedicine, both in terms of specialties and demographics. This suggests that health systems should consider adjusting resources and training to meet the different needs of these two populations. In particular, telemedicine may offer help for the nationwide maldistribution of adolescent psychiatry providers.
