Factors affecting the acceptance of teledentistry determined using the technology acceptance model: A cross-sectional study.

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
Objective: The aim of this pilot study is to identify the main predictors and barriers that influence user intention to adopt teledentistry services among the Saudi population. Methods: A total of 426 respondents completed a questionnaire. Our study used the technology acceptance model to predict how users will adopt teledentistry. An analysis of the factors that influence patient users' intention to utilize teledentistry was conducted using partial least square structural equation modeling. Results: Among the factors that influenced the intention to use teledentistry services, social influence positively affected the intention (β = 0.18, Conclusion: The perception of risk was a major barrier to the adoption of teledentistry services, while social influence was a significant positive predictor. Using the findings of the study, policymakers and health service providers can gain a better understanding of the factors influencing the implementation of teledentistry.
