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

Telemedicine may provide equitable, accessible, and affordable healthcare to individuals globally. Recently tele-medicine has emerged as a vital resource for interdisciplinary healthcare professionals to provide critical medical care on the frontlines during the combined COVID-19 pandemic and the drug and opioid crisis. With the recent 2020 expansion of insurance coverage of telemedicine services by the United States Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, there has been an uptick in the need to understand how to comprehensively train physicians and health care professionals on telemedicine during a public health crisis. This study gathered 98 survey responses from interdisciplinary healthcare professionals regarding their telemedicine experience, focusing on trends of use with the drug and opioid crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results demonstrate that during the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine provided a novel, innovative way to address an unmet need in healthcare and may aid to improve safe medication stewardship (SaMS) practice guidelines. Further expanded population-based research and randomized clinical trials are necessary to confirm these preliminary recommendations and form best practices for use in digital health and telemedicine. In addition, further studies will confirm the benefits of interdisciplinary healthcare professionals' engagement in harm reduction strategies via telemedicine to address improving safe medication use.
