Deployment of telemedicine as another mitigation tool during the COVID-19 pandemic in India.
Article in Public health in practice (Oxford, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Healthcare systems in resource scarce countries continue to face unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including saturation of healthcare system capacities. Data suggest that medical staff deployed for COVID-19 containment are at higher risk of exposure and thus greater susceptibility to infection, further decreasing the available workforce. Telemedicine, as an additional healthcare delivery approach, can circumvent hospital visits of non-critical COVID-19 patients and thus reduce exposure of both providers and non-COVID-19 patients. Widespread implementation of telemedicine at this watershed moment for healthcare system in India will establish a new public health delivery alternative that can cater to the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
