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
Objective: To compare characteristics of rural veterans using VA brick and mortar (B&M), VA video-to-home telehealth (VA VTH), or VA community care network (CCN) for mental healthcare. Methods: Rural VA patients that received at least 2 days of mental healthcare in fiscal year 2023 were classified as B&M, VA VTH, or CCN patients based on where they received the plurality of care. Bivariate differences in characteristics were determined via SMDs. Adjusted differences in characteristics were estimated using nested dichotomies logistic regression and reported as odds ratios (factor) or predicted probabilities (continuous). Results: The analyses demonstrate that rural VA patients ( Conclusions: Off-site modes of care like CCN and VA VTH have the potential to address long wait- and drive-times for in-person VA care that are especially pertinent for rural patients. As such, it is important to ensure that these care alternatives are being utilized by all strata of rural VA patients, and to identify differences in their use. Relevance to Clinical Practice: This large retrospective cohort study provides clinicians insight into the characteristics of veterans using alternatives to on-site mental healthcare, allowing them to be better prepared to provide care to patients using those modalities.
