Identifying Factors Associated With Variation in Telemental Health Delivery at Federally Qualified Health Centers.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCOVID-19 accelerated federally qualified health centers' use of telemental health. However, factors associated with telemental health service delivery remain unclear. We examined telemental health delivery by clinician type and mental health workforce composition across the U.S. to understand how staffing and other organizational characteristics are related to telemental health delivery at health centers.
methodsUsing data from the 2021 Uniform Data System, we characterized the proportion of mental health care delivered via elemental (i.e., virtual visits) at health centers in the U.S. that received HRSA grant funding (n = 1,270) overall and by state and clinician type. Then, we conducted multivariate beta regression analyses to assess the proportion of mental health visits delivered via telemental health at health centers as a function of mental health workforce composition, while adjusting for health center size, patient mix, and state.
resultsIn 2021, health centers delivered 43% of their mental health visits via telemental health, with significant variation by state and clinician type. On average, the proportion of mental health visits delivered via telemental health was greater among psychiatrists (61%,
conclusionsAccess to telemental health varies by state and across health centers based on mental health workforce composition. Future work is needed to examine funding and workforce strategies to increase telemental health service availability.
