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
Aim: To examine an association between virtual care and mental health care use and whether there is any different pattern in the association across key demographic characteristics, specifically age, race/ethnicity, and educational attainment. Methods: A cross-sectional, observation study was conducted among the general population in the United States. This population-based study used data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey. Main effect and interaction models using binary logistic regression were performed. Results: Of a total of 708 males and 1,238 females with symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD), virtual care was associated with an increase in mental counseling or therapy use (males: adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.75, 95% CI: 1.82-4.16, Conclusions: Virtual care is associated with a significant increase in accessing mental health care. Individuals who historically experience challenges related to in-person settings, including those with low educational attainment and Hispanics, may significantly benefit from virtual options.
