Site-Level Differences in the Provision of Telemental Health Care Within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Observational study in Health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine site-level differences in telemental health use within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Findings aim to identify barriers to telemental health use to improve access to care. STUDY SETTING AND
design122 VA facilities were classified into three groups: sites with higher levels of in-person (n = 55), video (n = 40), and phone mental health (MH) care (n = 27). We used Pearson's chi-squared and F-tests to assess for group differences on organizational characteristics and patient population variables. DATA SOURCES AND ANALYTIC SAMPLE: This was an observational study using VA administrative data from July 2021 to October 2022; analyses were conducted from June 2024 to March 2025. PRINCIPAL
findingsSites in the video group tended to be larger, high-complexity, urban facilities that served more women, younger patients, and patients with greater broadband access. Sites in the in-person group served more patients of lower socioeconomic status and treated the highest percentage of rural patients. The phone group served the next highest percentage of rural patients, followed by the video group.
conclusionsLarger, higher-complexity sites may have stronger telehealth infrastructures, and urban areas have stronger broadband connectivity to support video visits. Smaller, rural sites may benefit from targeted support to increase video use.
