Designing Telemedicine for Older Adults With Multimorbidity: Content Analysis Study.
Article in JMIR aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundTelemedicine is a potential option for caring for older adults with multimorbidity. There is a need to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidity to tailor it to the needs of older adults with multiple chronic conditions.
objectiveThis study aims to explore the perceptions about telemedicine among older patients with multimorbidity.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted using semistructured interviews. The interview questions examined older adults' perspectives about telemedicine, including their expectations regarding telemedicine services and the factors that affect its use. Thematic analysis was performed using NVivo (version 12; Lumivero). The study was reported using the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines.
resultsIn total, 29 patients with multimorbidity-21 (72%) female patients and 8 (28%) male patients with a mean age of 69 (SD 10.39) years-were included. Overall, 4 themes and 7 subthemes emerged: theme 1-perceived benefit of telemedicine among older adults with multimorbidities, theme 2-appropriate use of telemedicine for multimorbid care, theme 3-telemedicine system catering to the needs of older patients, and theme 4-respect patients' decision to decline to use telemedicine.
conclusionsTelemedicine for older adults with multimorbidity should focus on those with stable conditions. This can help increase access to care for those requiring continuous condition monitoring. A structured telemedicine program and patient-centered services can help increase patient acceptance of telemedicine. However, health care providers must accept the limitations of older patients that may prevent them from receiving telemedicine services.
