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

There is limited information regarding how telemedicine visits compare with in-person visits regarding diabetes outcomes in an ambulatory care setting. Our objective was to compare proportions of patients in ambulatory setting with uncontrolled diabetes among those with telemedicine visits versus in-person only visits and examine differences by age, race, gender, ethnicity, and insurance status. Adults with diabetes who attended an ambulatory primary or specialty clinic visit between May 2020 and May 2021 were included. Demographics including age, race, ethnicity, gender, insurance, and comorbidities were extracted from the electronic medical record. Patients were compared among three visit groups: those with in-person only visits, those with only one telemedicine visit, and those with 2 + telemedicine visits. The primary outcome was uncontrolled diabetes, defined as HbA1c ≥ 9.0 %. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess differences in uncontrolled diabetes between visit groups following risk adjustment. A total of 18,148 patients met inclusion criteria and 2,101 (11.6 %) had uncontrolled diabetes. There was no difference in proportion of patients with uncontrolled diabetes between visit groups (in-person only visits: 834 (11.6 %); one telemedicine visit: 558 (11.8 %); 2 + telemedicine visits: 709 (11.4 %);
