Telemedicine follow-up after pediatric esophageal atresia repair: parental satisfaction and safety outcomes.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
purposeTo evaluate parental satisfaction with telemedicine follow-up after EA repair and identify key technical and clinical predictors of high satisfaction.
methodsCross-sectional survey of 151 parent-child dyads who received telemedicine follow-up (video or telephone) within 30 days after EA repair between April 2022 and April 2025. Satisfaction was measured using an adapted Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ), and multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors of high satisfaction (TUQ ≥ 4.0). Secondary outcomes included technical difficulties, unscheduled in-person clinic visits, emergency department presentations, and perceived reduction in healthcare burden.
resultsMean TUQ satisfaction score was 4.28 ± 0.51, with 78.0% reporting high satisfaction. Video consultations (adjusted OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.39-5.41, p = 0.003) and absence of technical problems (adjusted OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.42-6.87, p = 0.004) were independent predictors of high satisfaction. Safety outcomes were favourable: 11.3% required unscheduled in-person visits and 6.0% presented to emergency departments within 30 days, with no significant differences between video and telephone consultations.
conclusionTelemedicine follow-up after EA repair is associated with high parental satisfaction and acceptable short-term safety. Video capability and technical reliability are primary drivers of satisfaction.
