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

Digital health services can facilitate patients' access to healthcare. However, access to reliable internet and utilization of digital healthcare are patterned by race, ethnicity, and class in the United States. We assessed willingness, use, and challenges accessing digital healthcare platforms among farmworkers arriving in North Carolina on temporary H-2A work visas (n = 327). We fielded a survey on digital healthcare access in English and Spanish at a central arrival hub for H-2A visa holders in 2024. We calculated descriptive statistics and assessed associations between willingness to use and uptake of digital healthcare and demographic variables. Most participants were interested in utilizing telehealth and patient portals, but few had ever used these services. Among participants who had used telehealth, 50% reported needing assistance. Older participants were less likely to utilize patient portals than younger participants. Future interventions should consider the unique context of migrant farmworkers in building digital health service models and provide digital skills training.
