Can Telemedicine Support the Management of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objective: Considering the need for specialized care in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), we investigated whether the use of a digital platform could optimize treatment and improve patients' quality of life. Methods: A guidance and data collection app was developed, complemented by a YouTube channel with physiotherapy instructions. The interventional clinical trial without a control group was carried out for 12 months with patients with OI. Patient functionality was assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scale. Patients were monitored via telemedicine, receiving remote multidisciplinary support. Results: Thirteen participants completed the study. Significant improvements were observed in self-care, transfers, and mobility subitems (p<0.05). Program adherence was high, and no patient sustained injuries during the intervention. Additionally, a total transportation cost savings of R$ 113,852.00 was recorded, reducing direct expenses for patients and their families. Conclusion: Telemedicine proved effective in the rehabilitation of OI patients, providing both clinical and financial benefits. The digital platform facilitated treatment adherence, optimizing medical and physiotherapy support. Future studies should explore its large-scale application and integration into public health policies.
