1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPrimary care home visits benefit older adults and adults with disabilities but are often challenging to sustain. While telehealth is less costly and time-intensive, potential limitations include access, assessment adequacy, and patient satisfaction.

aimTo improve patient access to effective telehealth encounters as a component of home-based care while educating medical students via home visits.

settingHome-based primary care program partnership between a federally qualified health center and a tertiary academic center in the Southeast US from November 2022 to June 2023.

participantsEight medical students and eight patients. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Student pairs facilitated video telehealth encounters with patients in their homes supervised by an off-site clinician. Outcome measures included clinical activities conducted, patient satisfaction, and medical student reflections. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Students facilitated 28 enhanced telehealth visits. In total, 287 clinical activities were performed. Of the 238 activities evaluated for clinical utility, 13.2% warranted an intervention. All patient participants were satisfied and interested in continuing. Student reflection themes included valuing longitudinal relationships, home-based care, and social determinants of health. DISCUSSION: This novel program may improve patient access to home-based care via telehealth encounters facilitated by medical students and, concurrently, provide a model for student participation in home visits.
