Telemedicine in home enteral nutrition: a structured survey exploring acceptability, preferences and experiences among patients.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. 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
backgroundGiven that Telemedicine are widespread in China, and we have developed home enteral nutrition service with telemedicine (HENST) to satisfy HEN requirement of patients. However, only little is known about patient's experience of HENST model. The objective of this interview study was to explore patient's experiences and improvement direction of the HENST model.
methodsThe revisit station of HEN patients between 2018 and 2022 were counted. And epidemiological characteristics of HENST patients in 2022 were collected. Meanwhile, the structured survey was conducted to collect experiences about HENST model from part HEN patients in 2022.
resultsThe revisit rate of HEN patients increased from 25.8% to 35.8%, and the major revisit approach changed from face-to-face clinic visits to HENST. Overall, 1437 HENST patients with 3710 visit records in 2022. Median age was 58.0 years, and most patients were from Chengdu (61.3%). For interview subjects, distance and expense from home to hospital for HENST patients were more than those for face-to-face clinic visit patients, illustrating that HENST can save time and expenses. The patient satisfaction rate for HENST was 98.7%, and viewpoints of HENST improve the visit experience have been deemed by majority HENST patients (81.8%). For face-to-face clinic visit patients, prefer to face-to-face communication was the main reason why not choose HENST.
conclusionsHENST is a economic beneficial visit model, with high satisfaction. We should optimize and promote existing video call function of this platform to meet the demands of face-to-face communication.
trial registrationThe study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (clinical registration number: ChiCTR2100053762, registration date: 2021-11-29).
