Virtual Backgrounds, Clinician Attire, and Patient Experience Preferences Among Individuals Receiving Telemedicine Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 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
Telemedicine is a growing treatment modality for opioid use disorder and can offer greater privacy, flexibility, and agency to patients who have experienced stigmatizing behavior in other treatment settings. Designing a welcoming and respectful virtual environment is one mechanism for creating a patient-centered experience, yet to date, patient preferences for telemedicine treatment for opioid use disorder have not been evaluated. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess patient perspectives on Zoom backgrounds and provider attire among individuals receiving telemedicine treatment for opioid use disorder at a multi-state practice. A total of 601 patients participated in the study, of whom 60.4% were female and the average age was 41.4 years. Nearly 60% of respondents preferred real backgrounds during virtual visits. The majority of respondents did not have a preference for provider attire with the remaining respondents preferring casual attire to business casual or formal attire. Overall, we found that individuals with opioid use disorder prefer authenticity in backgrounds and personalized attire to establish trust and open communication in telemedicine.
