Who Gets to Go to the Clinic? Expanding Equity Considerations in DTC Telemedicine.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. 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
The USA has some of the highest costs of medical care in the world. Telemedicine has been proposed as an affordable alternative to traditional in-person care, increasing access to medical services. Praised as a significant innovation and opportunity to expand access to medical care, telemedicine services have rapidly expanded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This viewpoint discusses the equity implications of the expansion of direct-to-consumer telemedicine-only medical care or care, which takes place entirely in the virtual realm, often with no requirement for a previous patient-provider relationship. We propose an approach to digital health that looks beyond digital literacy and access to technology to consider systemic challenges to equitable implementation.
