Predictors of Patient Portal Use Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Article in Research in gerontological nursing, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Older adults lag behind their younger counterparts in the use of patient portals, which may limit their ability to engage in health care. A better understanding of the factors associated with portal use among older adults is needed. We examined the proportion of 100 community-dwelling older adults who reported using a portal, the associations between sociobehavioral factors and portal use, and modeled predictors of portal use. Of the 52% who reported using a portal, 28% used the portal on their own, and 24% received assistance from others or had others access the portal on their behalf. After controlling for confounders, only marital status was significantly associated with any portal use. Marital status and patient activation were significantly associated with independent portal use. Further exploration is warranted to identify additional factors and the possible mechanisms underlying portal use by older adults. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 14(1), 33-42.].
