Patient perspectives of telehealth for fertility care: a national survey.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate patient satisfaction using telehealth for fertility care.
methodsCross-sectional survey using the validated telehealth usability questionnaire (TUQ) distributed nationally via fertility advocacy groups of fertility patients aged ≥ 18 years with self-reported use of telehealth for care. Patient satisfaction of telehealth for fertility care as determined by the TUQ questionnaire. The survey also included questions about telehealth related to usefulness, ease of use, effectiveness, reliability, and the option for patients to add open-ended comments related to their experiences using telehealth for fertility care.
resultsA total of 81 fertility patients completed the survey. Patients reported high rates of satisfaction (81.4%) with telehealth in areas of usefulness, ease of use, effectiveness, reliability, and satisfaction. However, many patients (60.5%) expressed a preference for in-person visits for their initial visit while the acceptability of telehealth increased for follow-up visits. Negative themes from respondent comments address that telehealth visits felt more impersonal and rushed.
conclusionFertility patients reported high satisfaction using telehealth for care. Patients still preferred in-person visits for initial consultations. For follow-up visits, most respondents favored telehealth or had no preference. Incorporation of telehealth in fertility practices should continue though it may be helpful for patients to be given options for visit types.
