Factors Associated with Patient Willingness to Conduct a Remote Video Musculoskeletal Consultation.
Article in The archives of bone and joint surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRemote video consultations on musculoskeletal illness are relatively convenient and accessible, and use fewer resources. However, there are concerns about technological and privacy issues, the possibility of missing something important, and equal access to all patients. We measured patient characteristics associated with willingness to conduct a remote video musculoskeletal upper extremity consultation.
methodsOne hundred and five patients seeking specialty musculoskeletal care completed questionnaires addressing (1) demographics, (2) access to a device, internet, and space to conduct a remote video consultation, (3) health literacy, (4) pain intensity, (5) magnitude of limitations of the upper extremity, (6) self-efficacy, and (7) rated willingness to conduct a remote video musculoskeletal consultation (11-point ordinal scale). A multivariable linear regression analysis sought factors independently associated with patient willingness to conduct remote video musculoskeletal upper extremity consultations.
resultsPatient education level (4 years of college) and accessibility to a space suitable for remote video consultations were independently associated with interest in remote video consultations. Sociodemographic factors, health literacy, accessibility to a device or internet, and amount of perceived pain and disability were not.
conclusionWe speculate that education level and suitable space might be surrogates for trust and privacy concerns. Future research might measure the ability of interventions to gain trust and ensure privacy to increase willingness to engage in remote video musculoskeletal consultations.
