Telehealth as a Substitute for a Usual Source of Care for Prescription Medications.
Article in International journal of telerehabilitation, 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
This study investigates how effectively telehealth utilization (THU) can substitute for a usual source of care (USC) for taking prescription medication using data from the 2020-2022 National Health Interview Survey. We analyzed data for 69,581 patients. Of these, 5,994 patients (8.6%) lacked a USC. THU was 37.3% for patients with a USC and 15.8% for those without. For patients with no USC or THU, 25.4% had taken a prescription medication within 12 months, while patients with THU but no USC had a rate of 75.4%. In essentially all subgroups, telehealth was associated with substantially higher rates of taking prescription medications. Multivariate logistic regression showed that THU was associated with a 7.39-fold increase (95% CI: 6.19-8.84) in the odds of taking a prescription medication.
