Leveraging community Wi-Fi and spaces for digital health use.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Digital health disparities continue to affect marginalized populations, especially older adults, individuals with low-income, and racial/ethnic minorities, intensifying the challenges these populations face in accessing healthcare. Bridging this digital divide is essential, as digital access and literacy are social determinants of health that can impact digital health use and access to care. This article discusses the potential of leveraging community Wi-Fi and spaces to improve digital access and digital health use, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with this strategy. The existing limited evidence has shown the possibility of using community Wi-Fi and spaces, such as public libraries, to facilitate telehealth services. However, privacy and security issues from using public Wi-Fi and spaces remain a concern for librarians and healthcare professionals. To advance digital equity, efforts from multilevel stakeholders to improve users' digital access and literacy and offer tailored technology support in the community are required. Ultimately, leveraging community Wi-Fi and spaces offers a promising avenue to expand digital health accessibility and use, highlighting the critical role of collaborative efforts in overcoming digital health disparities.
