Feasibility of using a patient portal to recruit Latino adults into a smoking cessation and physical activity randomized clinical trial: A secondary analysis.
Article in Tobacco induced diseases, 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
introductionEmerging efforts are using patient portals to send recruitment messages to potential participants in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We assessed the feasibility of using a patient portal to recruit Latino adults into a smoking cessation and physical activity RCT.
methodsSecondary analysis of an ongoing RCT. In 2025, the electronic health record (EHR) at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) was utilized to identify patients with the following characteristics: Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, aged ≥18 years, currently smoking cigarettes, and seen at URMC within the last five years. Identified patients with an active account on MyChart
resultsTwo thousand patients were identified in the EHR at URMC as potentially eligible. A total of 1122 patients had an active MyChart account and were messaged (56.1%, 1122/2000). One hundred thirty patients viewed the message (11.6%, 130/1122) and 53 responded as interested in the study (4.7%, 53/1122). The study team successfully enrolled thirteen patients, resulting in an overall enrollment rate of 1.2% (13/1122).
conclusionsIt is feasible to use a patient portal to recruit Latino adults into a smoking cessation and physical activity RCT. While modest, our overall enrollment rate provides important evidence to inform future recruitment efforts, particularly given its high reach and low implementation effort.
