Telemedicine during COVID-19 Crisis and in Post-Pandemic/Post-Vaccine World-Historical Overview, Current Utilization, and Innovative Practices to Increase Utilization.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Telemedicine's underutilization ended when the COVID-19 pandemic caused people to isolate and kept them from seeking healthcare services at their local hospitals and clinics. With the aid of the CARES Act of March 2020, healthcare providers quickly implemented telemedicine services to meet the various needs of their patients. During the pandemic, healthcare systems saw a significant increase in telemedicine visits. Essential industries turned to healthcare providers for assistance in keeping their workers healthy and to maintain production in the country's critical infrastructure. Telemedicine services could quickly address health concerns, help address industry needs, and combat workforce shortages. As quickly as telemedicine services grew, telemedicine service utilization waned as people started to move closer to a pre-pandemic lifestyle. This descriptive study builds on an in-depth literature review by utilizing a fishbone diagram and SWOT analysis examining the potential factors related to telemedicine underutilization. To promote telemedicine utilization, application of Rogers' Diffusion of Innovation theory outlines how to gain support for the benefits of telemedicine and build on opportunities brought out by the COVID-19 pandemic. Implication for practice could include establishing virtual clinics for industries plagued with workforce shortages.
