Telemedicine in clinical gastroenterology practice: what do patients prefer?
Article in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic has forced major changes on healthcare systems. Maintaining regular patients' surveillance became a major challenge. Telemedicine has been promoted as an economic and effective way for long distance patient care. Our aim was to study patients' acceptance and perspectives on telemedicine.
methodsPatients scheduled for clinic appointments were offered telemedicine. Those who agreed were asked to fill in a questionnaire assessing their satisfaction with the medical consultation. Patients' demographic characteristics and answers were collected and reviewed.
resultsOut of 358 patients approached 71 agreed to use telemedicine. Of them, 59 completed the questionnaire and were included in the study. All patients' basic demographic data were collected. Patients' included in the study mean age was: 43 ± 16.3 years, 35 (59.3%) women. Patients who chose not to use telemedicine were significantly older, mean age: 61 ± 15.2 years (
conclusionsTelemedicine gained a high satisfaction rate among patients under regular medical surveillance. Most patients stated this that method is convenient, time saving and increases their compliance. Patients who agreed to telecare were younger, and tended to be of female gender and experiencing IBD. Further studies are needed to characterize specific barriers to telecare usage.
