Digital navigators to implement smartphone and digital tools in care.

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
While smartphone apps and other digital health tools have the clear potential to increase both quality of and access to care, actual successful implementation remains limited. Challenges often encountered in seeking to use apps in care include selecting safe/effective tools, spending clinical time troubleshooting technology instead of discussing health matters, and lack of time to check and review constant streams of data these digital tools can produce. In this 'From Research to Clinical Practice' piece, we focus on how a new care team member, the digital navigator, can help overcome these barriers through conducting evidence-based app evaluation to help in selecting the right apps, troubleshooting technology outside of visits to improve the therapeutic alliance during, and finally summarizing digital data to facilitate clinical care that focus on actionable data.
