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

Objective: To examine the transition to telemental health within the behavioral health program of a large federally qualified health center, The Family Health Centers at NYU Langone, in the 3 months following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic-specifically impacts on show rates and access to care. Methods: Demographic and clinical information for all scheduled visits was collected for two time periods: the telemental health period, March 16, 2020-July 16, 2020 (46,878 visits, 5,183 patients), and a comparison period, March 15, 2019-July 16, 2019 (47,335 visits, 5,190 patients). Data collected included modality, appointments scheduled/completed/cancelled/no-showed, age, gender, race, language, and diagnosis. Generalized estimating equations with a compound symmetry correlation structure and logit link were used for analysis. Results: An ∼twofold increase in the likelihood of completing a visit in 2020 vs. 2019 (adjusted OR = 1.92, Conclusions: This study supports the use telemental health to increase access for all patients, including those from under-represented, lower socioeconomic status backgrounds.
