1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTelemedicine has improved access to care, yet device usage for virtual visits remains underexplored.

objectiveTo characterize device usage patterns for video televisits across sociodemographic factors in a tertiary Movement Disorders clinic in the United States.

methodsWe conducted a three-year retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 2181 video televisits, categorizing devices used as mobile (smartphones/tablets) or personal computers (desktops/laptops), and analyzed usage patterns across age, sex, race, and income.

resultsMobile devices were used in 88% of video televisits. Patients <60 years-old preferred mobile devices over PCs (91%, p = 0.002). Lower income patients used only mobile devices. Significant differences were detected for age and income, but effect sizes were small. Logistic regression identified only age <60 as a predictor of mobile usage (OR 1.55, p = 0.0005).

conclusionsMobile device usage for telemedicine is becoming increasing ubiquitous across sociodemographic factors, highlighting the need to optimize mobile telemedicine platforms and leverage mobile devices for teleresearch in Movement Disorders patients.
