Patient and physician satisfaction with video consultations in dermatology: An exploratory cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTeledermatology has become an essential part of dermatological care, although challenges in its implementation remain. We conducted a real-life survey on video consultations over a one-year period to assess satisfaction and identify barriers. MATERIAL AND
methodsA monocentric, questionnaire-based study was conducted, using a self-developed questionnaire and the German adaptation of the validated Client Satisfaction Questionnaire.
resultsOf 250 scheduled consultations, 89.6% were completed. A total of 128 patients and 13 physicians participated in the survey. The majority of patients (94.5%) and physicians (94.7%) would recommend video consultations. Patients reported high levels of satisfaction, with 93% rating ease of use positively and 80.4% reporting a positive overall experience. Physicians reported high satisfaction, with 98% providing positive feedback regarding scheduling, 94.7% regarding ease of use, and 90.8% regarding overall experience. Feedback on connection stability and skin assessment varied, with connectivity issues correlating with poorer skin findings (p < 0.001). Feedback regarding connection stability and adequacy of skin assessment showed variability. Connectivity issues were significantly associated with poorer dermatologic assessment (p < 0.001). Physicians who were dissatisfied with the quality of skin assessment were less likely to recommend video consultations (p < 0.001) and reported a less favorable overall experience (p < 0.001).
conclusionsVideo consultations can improve access to dermatologic care, patient and physician satisfaction, and efficient use of healthcare resources. Our real-world data show high acceptance among patients and physicians while highlighting areas for optimization, particularly video quality and adequacy of dermatologic assessment.
