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

backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic ushered widespread adoption of telehealth (TH) by cystic fibrosis (CF) centers in the USA. TH was initially described as well-accepted by both clinicians and patients. As we move past the unusual circumstances of the pandemic, the sustainability of TH remains untested. This study sought to test the durability of clinician perceptions of TH post-pandemic.

methodsThis is a cross-sectional, survey study of clinicians at seven US CF centers. We refined a previously disseminated survey initially designed to assess clinician perceptions of TH in 2020. Survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and current responses were compared to prior results.

resultsClinician perceptions surrounding TH remain high but have changed over time with 75% now endorsing satisfaction (90% in 2020, p = 0.02). The most cited barriers were technology limitations (68%) and limited in-person assessments (66%). We found a significant decrease in concern over missing in-person assessments compared to 2020. Benefits of TH included convenience for patients and families (100%) and reduction in missed days of school or work (100%). In total, 83% of current respondents felt TH should remain part of routine CF care. A majority indicated certain patient characteristics increased their preference to conduct at least one TH visit per year.

conclusionsDespite restoration of full access to in-person care, clinicians caring for pwCF continue to use TH across the surveyed CF centers post-pandemic. Respondents continue to view TH favorably. Further study is needed to understand for which patient and clinical scenarios TH is most appropriate.
