Frequency of Modification of Pharmacological Treatment Is Equivalent for Virtual and In-Person Psychiatric Visits.
Article in Telemedicine reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: During the coronavirus pandemic there was a rapid adoption of telehealth services in psychiatry, which now accounts for 40% of all visits. There is a dearth of information about the relative efficacy of virtual and in-person psychiatric evaluations. Methods: We examined the rate of medication changes during virtual and in-person visits as a proxy for the equivalence of clinical decision-making. Results: A total of 280 visits among 173 patients were evaluated. The majority of these visits were telehealth (224, 80%). There were 96 medication changes among the telehealth visits (42.8%) and 21 among the in-person visits (37.5%) ( Conclusion: Clinicians were equally as likely to order a medication change if they saw their patient virtually or in person. This suggests that remote assessments yielded similar conclusions to in-person assessments.
