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

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Telehealth interventions (TIs) have emerged as a promising avenue for providing healthcare services remotely, potentially improving outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for people with MS. This systematic review aims to assess the impact and efficacy of TIs on outcomes of people with MS by synthesizing and comparing outcomes from related randomized controlled trials. Methods: The systematic review protocol will involve searching electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, CENTRAL), gray literature resources, and key journals from 1997 to June 2023 for keywords related to Telehealth and MS. The collection of research-related articles will be followed by the removal of duplicates before they are included in the study. During the screening stage, the titles and abstracts of the articles will be reviewed, and irrelevant articles will be excluded. The full text of relevant articles will be independently evaluated by two researchers, and data will be extracted from the final articles. The findings will be classified and recorded in an extraction table. The risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. The data will be analyzed using STATA version 14.2. The PROSPERO ID for this study is CRD42023450081. Discussion: This study aims to address the current knowledge gap by investigating the comparative effectiveness of TIs. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights and evidence regarding the effectiveness of these interventions, assess their feasibility and accessibility, examine patient outcomes, identify research gaps, and offer guidance for clinical practice and policy-making.
