Patient Portal Use Among Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Proceedings. IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics, 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
Patient portals are digital tools for managing health information. As healthcare shifts toward digital-centered delivery, portals increasingly shape how older adults access information and participate in their care. Yet, it remains unclear how older adults use these systems and what factors shape sustained engagement. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published between 2005 and 2025 to examine portal use among older adults. From 1,487 unique records, 52 studies were included in the systematic review and 18 in the meta-analysis. While prevalence varied significantly across diverse study contexts (
