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 examine primary care (PC) and mental health (MH) telehealth utilization and satisfaction across 9 high-income countries and identify associated demographic and clinical factors. Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey, which was fielded from March through August 2023 and surveyed nationally representative samples of adults aged 18 years or older in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Analysis from December 2024 to November 2025 included 17,160 of 21,341 respondents after exclusions. Survey-weighted multivariable logistic regression assessed PC and MH telehealth use and satisfaction. Results: Overall, an estimated 25.6% used PC telehealth and 9.0% used MH telehealth (weighted estimates). Primary care telehealth use ranged from 6.6% (Germany) to 39.7% (Australia) and was associated with female gender (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.47; 95% CI, 1.34-1.63), higher education (aOR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.40-1.74), above-average income (aOR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.15-1.43), and chronic conditions (aOR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.55-1.97). The odds of Mental health telehealth use decreased with age (aOR for ≥65 vs 18-24 years, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.16-0.33) and were not associated with income. Among users, 80.4% were satisfied with PC and 77.6% with MH telehealth. Older adults (≥65 years) using MH telehealth reported higher satisfaction odds than 18-24 years (aOR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.20-6.47). Conclusion: Telehealth adoption varied substantially by country and service type. Income disparities in PC telehealth and low adoption but high satisfaction among older MH telehealth users suggest that targeted and age-friendly implementation strategies are needed.
