Users' intentions to use medical escort service platforms: Based on technology trust and psychological resistance.
Article in iScience, 2026. 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
Platform-based medical escort services help patients navigate offline care amid population aging and strained healthcare resources. Using survey data from 904 Beijing residents, this study tested an integrated enabler-inhibitor model combining UTAUT2 and innovation resistance theory with a second-order structural equation approach, specifying technology trust and psychological resistance as mediators of usage intention. Results showed that usage and image barriers were the primary antecedents of psychological resistance, whereas tradition barriers had a weaker effect. Technology trust was positively associated with intention to use and exhibited a competitive mediation pattern by partially offsetting the negative indirect influence of psychological resistance. This dual-path view clarifies how users balance adoption drivers and resistance factors in online-to-offline health services. The findings point to leverage points for platform design and governance, suggesting that coordinated trust-building and resistance-reducing psychological interventions can support broader and more equitable uptake of digital health services.
