Telehealth Use By Persons with Disabilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Article in International journal of telerehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Telehealth use rapidly expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding if, and how, persons with disabilities (PWDS) used telehealth during the pandemic is vital to assuring that this evolving and increasingly common form of health care is equitably developed and delivered to avoid reproducing the health disparities PWDS already face. Our aim was to explore the use of telehealth among PWDS during the pandemic. We conducted a weighted secondary analysis of United States Census Bureau data (April-July 2021) from 38,512 (unweighted) PWDS. Our findings revealed 39.8% of PWDS used telehealth during the second year of the pandemic, ranging from 34.5% of persons with hearing disabilities to 43.3% of persons with mobility disabilities. There were also differences in telehealth use based on sociodemographics. Telehealth promises to open doors to more equitable health care access for many PWDS, but only if access barriers are removed.
