Perception and Decision-Making in Virtual Telepsychology Spaces and Professionals.
Article in Vision (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Humans interact with virtual environments for a variety of purposes, and the use of telemedicine services and e-health platforms has become increasingly significant in recent years. Telepsychology is an emerging service and is understood as the provision of psychological aid and counseling through the use of telecommunication technologies. This study investigates the impact of visual backgrounds in a mental health simulation app and explores the decision-making of potential patients for telepsychology. In this experimental study, we developed an instrument to assess the preferences for manipulated features of photomontages and portraits. A total of 310 participants from diverse backgrounds were surveyed about their preferences regarding visual backgrounds and silhouettes for this hypothetical service, with key independent variables such as complexity, naturalness, and color hues being manipulated. Our findings represent the first example of data collected on background preferences in telepsychology. The results suggest a preference for backgrounds with medium complexity and naturalness for clinical settings. Additionally, we observed variations in preferences based on gender and age. These findings highlight the importance of customizing visual elements to enhance patient engagement in telepsychology.
