Teledermatology Evaluation and Feedback Systems: A Tool for Improving Care.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chile is a country where teledermatology has been growing exponentially since the implementation of a single national asynchronous teledermatology platform for the public system in December 2018. To ensure the quality of care in teledermatology systems, it is crucial to evaluate the fulfillment of basic specifiers such as ICD-Diagnosis, therapeutic suggestions, and diagnostic suggestions, among others. This article aims to evaluate the teledermatology system of the Chilean public health service by analyzing 243 randomly extracted consultations, representative of the 20,716 electronic consultations performed during 2020. Compliance with basic specifiers is evaluated. From these, fulfillment of core teledermatology functions, such as diagnostic and therapeutic suggestions, is observed in most consultations. There are statistically significant relationships between the patient's destination (primary health center [PHC] or face-to-face referral), pharmacological prescription, coverage of the drug prescribed by the public system, and the education received by the consulting physician. If the consultation is resolved in the PHC, there is a higher chance for pharmacological prescription, prescribing mostly drugs that are covered by the government. This is less likely to occur when patients are referred for face-to-face evaluation. A targeted evaluation of education, pharmacological prescriptions, and their applicability is key to improving the quality of teledermatology systems.
