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

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has catalyzed the rapid adoption of telemedicine which encompasses synchronous and asynchronous interactions between patients and providers. In order to facilitate this rapid deployment, there has been numerous regulatory changes to ensure caregivers can effectively communicate with patients during this time. We illustrate a model where people, processes, and technology work together to address the comprehensive needs of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We provide a template for how multidisciplinary, academic practices can implement a rapid shift to virtual management during the pandemic using existing infrastructure that can be widely adopted to care for patients with chronic diseases. Telemedicine was incorporated into our entire practice, which encompasses neurology, rehabilitation, advanced practice providers, fellows, social work, and behavioral medicine. Our patient satisfaction results remained stable across almost all domains when compared to survey results from our typical, in-office visits. Our experience demonstrates telemedicine's transformative potential in successfully managing a multidisciplinary MS clinic during the time of a pandemic and outlines a potential path for other practices to follow.
