Teledermatology and Virtual Visits for Acne Management: A Review.
Review in Journal of cutaneous medicine and surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition requiring individualized management. Teledermatology provides convenience and accessibility that is highly suitable for this dermatological condition. Herein, our review aimed to describe the current state of teledermatology in the context of acne management and to assess patient satisfaction, adherence to virtual care, and the experiences of health care providers in delivering remote dermatological services. A systematic search for articles was conducted in Medline, Embase, and PubMed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. Title, abstract, full-text screening, and data abstraction were carried out in duplicate. One thousand one hundred three nonduplicate articles were screened based on title and abstract review. A total of 21 studies were included in the review. It was found that teledermatology is well-suited to the effective management of acne vulgaris. When compared to in-person care, teledermatology resulted in similar outcomes on several acne-grading scales. Additionally, patient satisfaction was comparable, with a large proportion of patients preferring virtual care to traditional in-person visits. However, compliance was found to be lower for virtual care. There are several secondary benefits to telemedicine, including time savings and greater accessibility to care for rural patients. Teledermatology is an evolving, promising medium for acne management for both clinicians and patients. Future research comparing the effectiveness of different teledermatology platforms, its limitations and pitfalls, and integration of patient and physician preferences to improve treatment outcomes is warranted.
