Telehealth Literacy as a Social Determinant of Health: A Novel Screening Tool to Support Vulnerable Patient Equity.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Background: Telehealth has evolved as a solution to COVID-19 isolation precautions and remote care with well-established health, socioeconomic, and practical benefits. However, there are many gaps in the current literature regarding telehealth use among older, low health literate, and resource-limited populations. There are ethical considerations that warrant understanding this digital divide. Objective: The objective of this review is to propose the Telehealth Literacy Screening Tool (TLST) for use in older adults and support the future inclusion of telehealth literacy as an important social determinant of health (SDOH). Methods: Initially a four-week outreach was performed that targeted older adults and low-health literate patients at the MedVantage Clinic (MVC) within Ochsner Health (OH) to identify common barriers to patient engagement with the OH Epic MyChart telehealth platform. Themes from those barriers directed a meta-synthetic review of the methods and ethical considerations of current, validated technological and telehealth literacy screening tools. Those findings were reported based on the standards of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement. Results: Based on the barriers identified during our MVC patient outreach, PRISMA-reported review of telehealth literacy screening research, and evaluation of the MyChart platform and the technological resources required for its use; we developed a multidimensional questionnaire for telehealth literacy screening of older adults. Conclusion: The TLST is designed to identify patients in need of additional interventions for successful connection to telehealth services. This is an important step towards addressing the ethical obligation to decrease disparities in telehealth literacy for vulnerable populations and identifying telehealth literacy as a SDOH.
