Trends in Prenatal Telehealth Visits by Race and Ethnicity in U.S. Community Health Centers, 2019 to 2023.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
researchTelehealth increased substantially during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is evidence that telehealth can improve access to care. Little is known about the use of patients' telehealth prenatal care prevalence by race and ethnicity, especially in CHCs. To assess patient usage of telehealth prenatal visits by race and ethnicity between 2019 and 2023, we included EHR data from pregnant non-Hispanic, Latina, White and Black patients and measured the proportion of telehealth prenatal visits. Adjusted estimated marginal means were calculated and described using a generalized beta mixed effects model to account for clinic clustering.
findingsThe proportion of prenatal telehealth visits increased rapidly for all groups until 2021, when they slowly began to decline and level off. In 2019, White Latinas had the lowest percent (11.3%, 95% CI = 11.0, 11.6) and non-Hispanic Black patients had the highest percent (13.7%, 95% CI = 13.2, 14.2). By 2023, non-Hispanic White patients had the highest percentage (25.0% 95% CI = 24.4, 25.6) and Black Latinas had the lowest percentage (18.2%, 95% CI = 17.1, 19.4).
conclusionsWhile all racial and ethnic groups exhibited similar trends in telehealth usage, the shifts in percentages highlight important disparities. This research lays the groundwork to evaluate prenatal outcomes related to virtual care and help clinics prioritize effective strategies in telehealth services for prenatal care.
