Experiences and opinion of medical professionals regarding the use of telemedicine tools in management of patients with chronic diseases: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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 has rapidly become a vital tool in managing chronic diseases, yet its effective integration relies on the acceptance and preparedness of healthcare professionals. This study aimed to assess the experiences, opinions, and expectations of medical professionals regarding telemedicine tools in patient care. This cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2024 among 237 employees of the 4th Military Clinical Hospital in Wroclaw, Poland. Respondents completed an online questionnaire assessing telemedicine experiences, expectations, and barriers. This study used the "Expectations of Telemedicine" (ET-14) and "Benefits and Requirements of Telemedicine" (BRT-10). Over half of the respondents (54%) reported experience with telemedicine, especially paramedics (91.7%) and general practitioners (71.4%). Healthcare professionals identified improved patient access and optimized resource utilization as primary expectations, while significant barriers included difficulty performing physical examinations (73.8%) and technological limitations (50.6%). Although paramedics exhibited greater skepticism about telemedicine's usefulness compared to other professions, most participants acknowledged its potential benefits for chronic disease management. The instruments used demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha > 0.95). In conclusion, telemedicine offers significant benefits for chronic disease management but requires addressing barriers such as training gaps, technological infrastructure, and regulatory adjustments. Tailored interventions and enhanced integration with existing healthcare systems are essential for broader adoption.
