Assessing Internet Quality Across Public Health Centers in Indonesia: Cross-Sectional Evaluation Study.
Article in JMIR medical informatics, 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
Background: Primary health care centers (Puskesmas) serve as the cornerstone of Indonesia's health care system, providing integrated services aimed at improving individual health through prevention, treatment, and health promotion. To fulfill these roles effectively, robust technological infrastructure, particularly reliable internet connectivity, is increasingly essential. Assessing the availability and quality of internet access in Puskesmas is therefore a critical step in understanding their readiness to implement digital health initiatives and fulfill their responsibilities in delivering accessible and effective healthcare services. Objective: This study provides a national baseline assessment of internet quality and its relevant IT infrastructure in more than 10,000 Puskesmas across Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted throughout all Puskesmas (10,382) in 34 provinces in Indonesia, using an online questionnaire. Categorization was done to analyze internet quality level results. Results: A total of 10,378 out of 10,382 public health centers (99.96%) participated in this study. Overall, 745 of 10,382 (7.18%) did not have internet access, 1487 (14.33%) had limited internet access, 5567 (53.64%) had sufficient internet access, and 2579 (24.85%) had sufficient and fast internet access. Moreover, 832 of 10,382 Puskesmas (8.02%) did not have 24-hour electricity, 44,196 (43.7%) had a central processing unit (CPU) with i3 specifications, 43,044 (42.56%) had 512 GB hard disk capacity, and 67,272 (66.5%) used antivirus. Conclusions: Although 79% (8201/10,382) of Puskesmas in Indonesia already had sufficient internet access, 21% (2180/10,382) still have limited and insufficient access. To ensure universal internet availability, it is essential to build collaborative support among internet providers and government to foster the availability and use of internet satellites, high-quality computers, and electrical power to support internet connectivity.
