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
This study examined access to, and use of remote patient monitoring (RPM), medical applications, and wearables in a racially diverse, lower-income population. Data were obtained via a cross-sectional survey of adults from low-income communities in Houston, Los Angeles, and New York between April and August 2023. The survey examined access to, and use of RPM, medical applications, and wearables, among respondents. Binary responses to the following questions were examined using logistic regression models: In the past 12 months, have you (i) used RPM, (ii) used a medical app, and (iii) used an electronic wearable device to monitor or track health or activity? A total of 305 surveys were returned, of which 212 were complete (69.5% completion rate). Demographically, 22% self-identified as Hispanic, 41% as non-Hispanic Black individuals, and 33% as non-Hispanic White individuals. Overall, 69% of respondents reported a pre-tax annual household income of less than $35 000 and 96% indicated they own a smart phone. However, only 3 of 10 reported using RPM, 15% reported using a medical app, and 14% reported using wearables. Race was strongly associated with RPM usage, with Black respondents significantly less likely to have used RPM, compared to their white counterparts (OR: 0.31,
