Virtual care and the influence of a pandemic: Necessary policy shifts to drive digital innovation in healthcare.
Article in Healthcare management forum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
The potential for virtual healthcare to improve access to primary care services in Canada has long been a topic of discussion; however, implementation has been slow despite growing interest among the public. Non-essential service lockdowns implemented in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed rapid and widespread uptake of virtual healthcare delivery. It is important to consider how to maintain equitable access to virtual care following the pandemic. We conducted a narrative scoping review to understand barriers related to the sustained adoption of virtual primary care delivery in Canada. Barriers at the system, healthcare provider, and patient levels were related to digital health infrastructure, and the regulatory environment governing virtual care provision and remuneration for healthcare professionals. The article identifies areas where policy shifts by health system leaders could sustain the longer-term availability of Canadian virtual care services.
