Association between video consultation use and general practitioner and practice characteristics: a cross-sectional survey in Denmark.
Article in BJGP open, 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
backgroundVideo consultations disrupt how general practice provides care and how patients receive it. A step towards understanding the use of video consultation is to study the association between user status and GP and practice characteristics.
aimTo study the association between GP and general practice characteristics and video consultations user status (user, never user, and former user). DESIGN &
settingAn anonymous, web-based, cross-sectional survey was distributed to all 1674 Danish general practices (single-handed, collaborative, and partnership forms) contracting with and working on a collective agreement with the public funder.
methodMultinomial logistic regression was used to correlate video consultation user status and (1) general practice characteristics, and GPs' (2a) objective characteristics and (2b) subjective attitudes towards video consultations and organisational change.
resultsThe study sample included 416 GPs. Comparing users of video consultations with never users, operating as a partnership practice (relative risk ratio [RRR] 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.06 to 0.85; P<0.05) and practices with six or more practice staff (RRR 0.05; 95% CI = 0.01 to 0.28; P<0.001) were significantly more likely to be users. GPs with a high degree of tech savviness (RRR 0.02; 95% CI = 0.001 to 0.17; P<0.001) and openness to organisational change (RRR 0.26; 95% CI = 0.08 to 0.85; P<0.05) were significantly more likely to use video consultations.
conclusionCharacteristics of general practice and GPs are associated with video consultation user status (being a user, never user, or former user). Future research should use a difference-in-difference study design and register data to make causality claims.
