Efficacy of Telemedicine for the Management of Asthma: A Systematic Review.
Review in Tanaffos, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Background: Considering the increased prevalence of asthma and its consequences for individuals and society, its effective management and close monitoring is essential. Awareness of the effects of telemedicine can improve asthma management. The present study aimed to systematically review articles examining the effect of telemedicine on the management of asthma, including control of the symptom, patients' quality of life, costs, and adherence to treatment programs. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was performed on four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus. English language clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of telemedicine in asthma management published from 2005 to 2018 were selected and retrieved. The present study was designed and conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines. Results: Out of 33 articles included in this research, telemedicine was employed by 23 studies for the promotion of patient adherence to treatment in the form of reminders and feedback, by 18 for telemonitoring and communicating with healthcare providers, by six for offering remote patient education, and by five for counseling. The most frequently used telemedicine approach was asynchronous (used in 21 articles), and the most commonly utilized tool was Web-based (utilized in 11 articles). Conclusion: Telemedicine can improve symptom control, patients' quality of life, and adherence to treatment programs. However, little evidence exists confirming the effectiveness of telemedicine in decreasing costs.
