Feasibility, Acceptability, and Health Outcomes Associated With Telehealth for Children in Families With Limited English Proficiency.
Review in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundTelehealth use in pediatrics increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and may improve health care access. It may also exacerbate health care disparities among families with limited English proficiency (LEP).
objectiveTo systematically review the feasibility, acceptability, and/or associations between telehealth delivery and health outcomes for interventions delivered synchronously in the United States. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Original research exploring pediatric health outcomes after telehealth delivery and studies that explored the feasibility and acceptability including surveys and qualitative studies.
participantsPatients 0 to 18 years with LEP and/or pediatric caregivers with LEP. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS
methodsTwo authors independently screened abstracts, conducted full-text review, extracted information using a standardized form, and assessed study quality. A third author resolved disagreements.
resultsOf 1831 articles identified, 9 were included in the review. Half of the studies explored videoconferencing and the other half studied health care delivered by telephone. Feasibility studies explored telehealth for children with anxiety disorders and mobile phone support for substance abuse treatment among adolescents. Acceptability studies assessed parental medical advice-seeking behaviors and caregivers' general interest in telehealth. Health outcomes studied included follow-up of home parenteral nutrition, developmental screening, and cognitive behavioral therapy. LIMITATIONS: The articles were heterogeneous in approach and quality. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF KEY
findingsTelehealth appears acceptable and feasible among children in families with LEP, with a limited evidence base for specific health outcomes. We provide recommendations both for the implementation of pediatric telehealth and future research. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD42020204541.
