Telemedicine: The New "Virtual Reality" of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery?
Article in Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 2022. 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
importanceUnderstanding women's acceptance of telemedicine as a model of care for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) allows for a more patient-centered approach to widespread implementation in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
objectivesThe pandemic sparked rapid and widespread implementation of telemedicine. Our goal was to assess acceptance, satisfaction, and desire for future use of telemedicine among women seeking care for PFDs. STUDY
designWe performed a structured telephone survey of new patients who underwent video visits, and established patients who underwent video or telephone visits, when nonurgent, in-person visits were suspended. Our survey assessed the following domains: satisfaction, future use of telemedicine, level of comfort, perceived utility, and access and comfort with technology.
resultsBetween April and July 2020, we conducted telemedicine visits with 221 patients, 131 (63% of eligible patients) of whom agreed to participate in our survey (63 (74%) telephone and 68 (56%) video, including 35 established and 33 new patients). Overall, most participants (96.3%) described being "very" or "somewhat satisfied" with telemedicine in addressing their needs and "comfortable" sharing personal information with providers in a telemedicine visit (94.7%). However, video participants (both new and established) were more likely to view telemedicine as valuable (P = 0.02) than telephone participants. Furthermore, established video participants perceived greater quality care of care (P = 0.01) than telephone participants.
conclusionsVideo telemedicine is a well-accepted adjunct model of care with the potential to expand the reach of quality subspecialty care of value to women with PFDs.
