    Figure 2:

    Forest plots of the mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in the measurement of quality of life among patients with asthma as per Juniper’s questionnaire (A), as suggested by studies investigating telehealthcare delivered by telephone only (B) and as suggested by studies investigating telehealthcare delivered by all other technologies (C). SD = standard deviation.
