On telemedicine and healthcare spending.
Article in International journal of circumpolar health, 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
The use of telemedicine has increased substantially worldwide prompting questions about its effect on health outcomes, utilisation rates, and healthcare costs. Using de-identified data from the Alaska Tribal Health System (ATHS) and Medicaid, we evaluate how spending patterns changed for a group of telemedicine users relative to a matched sample of non-users. We find that individuals tend to incur lower healthcare spending relative to the control group after first exposure to telemedicine. Our pre- ferred estimates show a 1.14% decrease for the Medicaid sample and a 0.7% decrease in the ATHS sample.
