Patient Communication Outside of Visits: Implications for Remote Monitoring and Digital Care Models in Myasthenia Gravis.
Article in Muscle & nerve, 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
INTRODUCTION/
aimsMyasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disorder requiring individualized, specialized treatment, yet access to specialized care is limited and documentation fragmented. Several remote monitoring tools have emerged to address this gap, yet their integration into clinical care remains challenging. The aim was to better understand the nature and context of care-related interactions in order to inform the development of clinically meaningful and patient-centered digital health solutions for MG.
methodsWe conducted a survey among physicians and nurses at a tertiary MG center over an eight-week period regarding care-related inquiries, documented using a structured report form that captured the topic, urgency, communication channel, processing time, and clinician involved.
resultsAbout 576 care-related inquiries were recorded. Most inquiries addressed organizational (55.4%) or medical (41.3%) issues. Among medical topics, symptom worsening (30.7%) and treatment-specific questions regarding FcRn and complement inhibitor therapy (19.3%) were most frequent. Organizational topics were most frequently about appointments (43.6%) and prescriptions (35.7%). A total of 115 inquiries (20.0%) were time-critical (requiring same weekday response). Physicians answered 74.3% of inquiries. The most common communication channels were e-mail (42.4%) and telephone (29.0%), followed by the hospital information system (13.7%) and a telemedicine platform (6.9%). Medical inquiries took twice as long to process/respond as organizational ones (median 10 vs. 5 min). DISCUSSION: Our findings show that care-related inquiries in MG are diverse and answered through various communication channels. Remote monitoring solutions hold promise to complement existing care structures in MG and could support timely and structured care but require human-guided processes.
