Use of Telemedicine in the Diagnosis of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy in a US Veteran During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Case Report.

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
Objective: The purpose of this case study was to describe the diagnosis of cervical spondylotic myelopathy through telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical Features: A 57-year-old male patient was evaluated at a Veterans Affairs chiropractic clinic via video telemedicine for evaluation regarding neck pain and bilateral arm paresthesia. Intervention and Outcome: During the initial evaluation performed by video telemedicine, the doctor of chiropractic was concerned about the possibility of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. This prompted a face-to-face consultation with the patient for further evaluation. The face-to-face evaluation revealed correlating objective findings, including brisk reflexes and transient clonus. Noncontrast magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine was performed, which showed evidence of cord compression with associated myelomalacia in the cervical spine at the C4-C5 level. After a neurosurgical consultation, the patient underwent successful anterior cervical decompression and fusion at the C4-C5 level. Conclusion: Chiropractic services through live video telemedicine in conjunction with face-to-face evaluation resulted in a timely neurosurgical consultation and successful decompression of the affected region. In this case, telemedicine facilitated a positive outcome for a patient with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
