Addressing Rural Geographic Disparities Through Health IT: Initial Findings From the Health Information National Trends Survey.
Article in Medical care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
backgroundRural communities experience disparate rates of chronic diseases and face distinct challenges in gaining access to health care. Increasing the reach of the US health information and communication technology infrastructure can support rural health by overcoming geographic and temporal health care barriers.
objectivesThe goal of the study is to establish statistically valid point estimates for the use of health information technology within rural versus urban populations, and to understand the degree to which structural factors may account for the overall variance in the use of these technologies.
methodsData from the National Cancer Institute's 2017 Health Information National Trends Survey were used to estimate prevalence of Health IT engagement across rural and urban populations and model factors influencing use of online medical records.
resultsRural residents reported similar rates of providers maintaining electronic health records and offering access to online medical records. However, rural residents with provider-maintained records were less likely to receive a provider recommendation to use online medical records and were subsequently less likely to actually access records. Observed differences in online medical record use were accounted for by variance in Internet access, access to a regular health care provider, and whether providers encouraged patients to use online records.
conclusionsFindings shed light on structural opportunities for overcoming geographic and temporal barriers to Health IT and extending the benefits of digital health information technologies to underserved populations.
