A review on diffusion of personal digital assistants in healthcare.
Review in Journal of medical systems, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This review draws from a comprehensive literature search and reviews the adoption, usage and impact of personal digital assistants (PDAs) in healthcare. Adoption relates to the rationale for, barriers to and scope of adopting PDAs. Usage relates to the types of health professionals using PDAs, and their functionalities and features. Impact relates to perceived outcomes, actual outcomes and improved productivity from PDA use. The review shows that although PDA adoption and usage in healthcare are growing, there are very few studies that provide evidence-based results about impacts of such adoption and use. However, the preliminary impact studies that have been done have shown promise with regards to PDA use improving patient outcomes. We feel this review will increase awareness and encourage research about PDAs and their use in healthcare.
