Telemedicine training among geriatric fellowship graduates: A needs assessment for future curriculum development.
Article in Gerontology & geriatrics education. 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
backgroundGeriatricians are expected to use telemedicine to deliver high-quality care to older adults. Yet, little is known about the training geriatric fellows received prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and their preparedness to care for older adults virtually. This paper discusses a needs assessment of alumni of a geriatric medicine fellowship program conducted to identify core telemedicine competencies and guide the development of telemedicine curricula in geriatric fellowship.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional survey study administered online to alumni (2005-2020) of an academic geriatric medicine fellowship program in the U.S.
resultsFifty-two alumni of the fellowship responded to the survey (50%). Ninety-eight percent (98%) of respondents felt it was highly important for geriatric fellows to learn skills in telemedicine during fellowship. Respondents emphasized the importance of creating curricula that highlight how to perform a virtual comprehensive geriatric assessment, triage visit modality, and bill for telemedicine encounters. DISCUSSION: Based on the findings of our needs assessment and guidelines developed to help ensure clinicians are proficient in telemedicine skills, we propose seven recommendations for the development of telemedicine curricula to align with existing competencies and help geriatricians meet the evolving needs of older adults.
