Utilization and Satisfaction of an On-Demand Telemedicine Service in Urban and Rural Communities.
Article in Studies in health technology and informatics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Health disparities between urban and rural America have been studied extensively, and findings consistently show many inequities. The objective of this study was to evaluate patient experiences and utilization among patients in North Carolina who use telemedicine. A retrospective cohort study was performed to examine the utilization and satisfaction of patients using a virtual care service at a Southeastern Medical Center in the U.S. Of 1974 telemedicine patients, 1366 (79.3%) were female, 1046(60.7%) were between 35-64 years, 913(53%) had insurance coverage. Statistically significant differences between rural and urban patients in how patients rated both their provider (p<0.01) and overall telemedicine experience (p<0.01). Our findings showed high satisfaction scores among both rural and urban communities in using the telemedicine platform with slightly higher scores among rural patients, which shows the need for on-demand telemedicine to increase health access and patient outcomes among rural communities.
