Exploring Multiple Dimensions of Access to and Preferences for Telehealth Use.
Article in Telemedicine reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Introduction: During the pandemic, telehealth became critically important in care provision. Yet, research exposed the inequities facing various groups of people in terms of accessing telehealth. The purpose of this analysis was to examine the various dimensions of access that impact a person's ability to use and preference for telehealth. Methods: We used a mixed-methods approach framed by Levesque's Access to Health care model. In August, 2021, a stratified random sample of 500 patients of an integrated rural health care network was invited to participate in a survey designed to capture familiarity with, use of, and preference for digital technologies in general as well as with telehealth. In addition, key informant interviews were conducted between January 2022 and June 2022. Results: Patients' willingness to use telehealth was influenced by multiple dimensions of access, including approachability of the resource, acceptability, availability, affordability, and appropriateness. Clinician beliefs and attitudes as well as health care system policies affected how a patient perceived, sought, reached, and engaged with telehealth. Conclusions: Access is a dynamic, multifaceted concept that is influenced by individual-, organization-, and systemic-level factors. Looking beyond patient determinants and examining different dimensions of access is important to better facilitate implementation and sustainment of telehealth.
