1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are outpatient health centers that provide primary care and limited specialty-care services to nearly 30 million low-income patients. Prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, FQHCs rarely delivered audio-only or video telehealth visits. However, with both temporary and permanent policy changes to facilitate telehealth use at the state and federal levels, telehealth has become an important modality of care. In 2023, approximately 9 percent of FQHC visits in the United States and 20 percent of FQHC visits in California occurred via video or audio-only visits delivered into patients' homes. In this study, the authors summarize data on the use of in-person, audio-only, and video health visits during September 2022 to August 2024, a period that included the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency in May 2023 and beyond. These data were collected to evaluate the impact of the Connected Care Accelerator program, which is an effort launched by the California Health Care Foundation in July 2020 to support health centers in implementing telehealth for low-income patients in California. This study is the final in a series of studies that were published from 2021 to 2024.
