Healthcare Providers' Experiences Accessing Real-Time Virtual Support: Informing More Equitable and Inclusive Healthcare Access in British Columbia's Rural, Remote, First Nations, and Other Indigenous Peoples and Communities.
Article in Healthcare management forum, 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
Healthcare Providers (HCPs) serving Rural, Remote, First Nations, and other Indigenous (RRFNI) communities face unique challenges in delivering longitudinal care due to geographic isolation. The Real-Time Virtual Support Services (RTVS) network aims to improve equitable access to healthcare and provide collegial support for HCPs in RRFNI communities across British Columbia. The objective of this study was to understand HCPs' experiences with RTVS and identify improvement areas. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with HCPs that were recorded, transcribed, and openly coded. Twenty HCPs using RTVS were interviewed during 2022-2023. The constant comparative method was used to develop themes. Themes focused on RTVS's benefits and outcomes including increased clinical confidence, reduced provider anxiety, respectful and collegial support, reduced administrative burden, and recruitment and retention support. Challenges included occasional service disruptions and limited Wi-Fi availability. These findings provide in-depth and contextualized feedback informing the development of RTVS.
