Co-creating an Indigenous-led virtual health services model for Indigenous Australians living with chronic disease.
Article in The Australian journal of rural health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo describe the co-design process and understand consumer perspectives of a virtual health services (VHS) model of primary healthcare delivery, for Indigenous Australians with chronic disease and living in regional, rural, and remote Queensland.
designUsing decolonising methodologies, the study used an Indigenous consensus method to undertake the co-design process and generate findings. For analysis, a qualitative interpretive-description framework was applied. Thematic analysis generated themes, describing consumer perspectives of virtual healthcare models.
settingThe Goondir Health Services (Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation) operating clinics in rural and remote Queensland.
participantsFourteen Indigenous VHS consumers who resided in Modified Monash Model 3-7 communities across Queensland, met the eligibility criteria and provided informed consent.
resultsTwo themes emerged: (1) personalised approaches to autonomous care using digital technologies, with two sub-themes of the benefits and challenges of technology, and the integration of culturally inclusive healthcare elements; (2) person-centred, culturally appropriate healthcare elements within a VHS model, with three sub-themes on the vital role of health coaches, the importance of community connections, and enabling holistic personalised healthcare access.
conclusionThis study provides important consumer perspectives on the potential of VHS models of health care to empower Indigenous healthcare service consumers. VHS holds promise on multiple fronts: improved access, timeliness, continuity of care, and culturally sensitive health care, enabling improved self-management of chronic conditions, and provide crucial support from local Indigenous healthcare providers within the community. Future research on the sustainability and impact of personalised, consumer-centric digital health services in Indigenous populations is essential.
