Evaluating Telehealth Quality Outcomes of a Pediatric Weight Management Program.
Article in Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 the extent to which patient-level characteristics are associated with telehealth quality outcomes (representing economic, functional, and equity outcomes) for children with obesity seen in primary care.
methodsWe evaluated the Connect for Health pediatric weight management program adapted for telehealth in an academic medical center in Boston, MA. Patient-level characteristics included insurance type, status of the social determinants of health screener, and preferred language. The outcomes were body mass index (BMI) documentation, Connect for Health tool usage, and mode of visit. We conducted multivariable logistic regression.
resultsWe included 417 children who had a telehealth visit. Children had a mean (SD) age of 7.1 (2.9) years, 72% had public insurance, 35% spoke a language other than English, and 24% had one or more social risk factors. Children with public insurance, compared to private insurance, had higher odds of having their BMI documented (odds ratio [OR]: 3.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04, 9.34), having had a clinician use the Connect for Health tools (OR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.16-3.74), and having an audio-only visit (OR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.14-3.27). Children with social risk factors, compared to no risk factors, had higher odds of having their BMI documented (OR: 3.35; 95% CI: 1.02-11.07). Children with a preferred language other than English compared to English had higher odds of having an audio-only visit (OR: 1.88; 95% CI: 1.18-2.99).
conclusionWe found associations between telehealth quality outcomes and children having public insurance, social risk factors, and a preferred language other than English. The findings suggest that telehealth programs can be developed to overcome known health disparities and achieve high-quality care.
