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
Telehealth offers an avenue for older adults to access providers, discuss care needs, and have serious illness conversations. However, telehealth is embraced by some and not by others. Urban-dwelling, low-income older adults have unique challenges in accessing continuous care, engaging with the healthcare system and receiving support to address serious illness care needs. To investigate telehealth acceptance in low-income older adults, we conducted individual semi-structured qualitative interviews with 46 residents of three Medicaid-funded assisted living facilities (MALFs) which provide social, functional, and clinical support to underserved populations. Interview transcripts were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Four qualitative themes describing telehealth acceptance in low-income assistant living communities were identified. Benefit: Telehealth offers convenience-participants highlighted how telehealth facilitates access to healthcare appointments, making it easier to receive care. Barrier: Technology fluency and access is not universal-many described physical and technological barriers that limit their ability to use telehealth effectively. Preference: general distaste for telehealth-this theme captures participants' overall attitudes and gut reactions to telehealth, ranging from enthusiasm to skepticism. Concern: mistrust in clinical connection-patients expressed concerns about trust, security, and the ability to build meaningful connections with providers through telehealth. While telehealth can make care more convenient, telehealth encounters may hinder trust in the therapeutic relationship between urban-dwelling low-income older adults and providers. For telehealth conversations discussing serious illness, additional efforts are needed to support engagement, foster trust, and provide patient-centered care in populations that have been historically marginalized.
