How limited english proficiency impacts patient engagement with telemedicine: a systematic review.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 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
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has become increasingly prevalent in healthcare delivery. While telemedicine holds promise to improve health equity, it may exacerbate pre-existing disparities for patients, including those with limited English proficiency (LEP). We systematically reviewed studies examining telemedicine utilization by LEP and English proficient (EP) patients in the United States. Four databases were searched, and 17 studies were included in this review. Among the seven studies analyzing overall utilization of telemedicine, five reported significantly lower utilization for patients with LEP than those with EP. Similarly, five out of seven studies investigating the utilization of telemedicine over in-person visits found lower telemedicine utilization for LEP patients. All seven studies analyzing telemedicine utilization by modality found significantly lower video use for patients with LEP than those with EP. Future work should address access to technology, digital literacy, healthcare system preparedness, and adequate interpreter accessibility.
