Policies and Practices of Cross-border Teleconsultation in Japan.

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
Teleconsultation in Japan was initially introduced as a doctor-to-doctor or dentist-to-dentist (D-to-D) service, restricted to non-emergency, follow-up consultations for patients already under medical care and in stable condition. Following the onset of COVID-19 in February 2020 and the resulting restrictions on international travel, demand increased not only for first-time doctor-to-patient (D-to-P) consultations within Japan but also for cross-border teleconsultations. This study aimed to examine the regulatory evolution and implementation challenges of cross-border teleconsultation in Japan. While cross-border teleconsultation offers accessible and convenient care for international patients, broader implementation remains limited due to challenges such as inadequate international patient support systems and the absence of consistent international legal frameworks. The findings highlight the need to develop standardized international telemedicine frameworks and to establish robust communication channels among governments.
