Physician-Authored Evidence Reviews
Structured reviews of peer-reviewed randomized trials and systematic reviews, mapped to adoption readiness for specific patient populations and clinical settings. Written by TeleDirectMD founder Parth Bhavsar, MD, board-certified in family medicine.
Current reviews
Editorial standards
Every review is structured around three constraints. First, primary sources take priority; secondary summaries are avoided unless the primary source is not reachable. Second, effect sizes and confidence intervals are documented as reported by the original trial or systematic review, not summarized as directional adjectives. Third, adoption-readiness analysis distinguishes between what the evidence supports for the general case, what it supports for a specific population, and what remains evidence-informed rather than trial-proven.
Reviews are updated when new headline trials are published in the target journals or when clinical guidance from a specialty society, the CDC, or the FDA changes materially. Corrections or additional citation suggestions may be sent to contact@teledirectmd.com.
About this section
The Clinical Evidence library is separate from the Health Guides library. Health Guides are patient-facing, editorial-neutral, and follow the standards described in the Editorial Standards. The Clinical Evidence library is physician-facing, written for clinicians, health-system partners, and readers who want the underlying trial data behind clinical recommendations.
