Supporting colorectal cancer survivors using eHealth: a systematic review and framework suggestion.
Synthesis in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
purposeeHealth could potentially support colorectal cancer survivors; however, little is known regarding the overall recent eHealth systems for colorectal cancer survivors. The present study was conducted to address which types of eHealth supports have been provided to colorectal cancer survivors in the past two decades.
methodsAn electronic search was conducted in four databases including Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The search query was based on two concepts: the first concept represented colorectal cancer and the second one comprised of information technology tools. The search was limited to 20 years (from 19 January 1999 to 19 January 2019). Obtained results were tabulated and represented as a framework.
resultsFifteen papers were included in this systematic review. Information including intervention type, eHealth tools, main features of the system, and outcomes were extracted from selected papers. Obtained results were characterized using a four-layer framework. This framework included layers of hardware, software, service (educating the patient, medication intake, physical activity, health status monitoring, hospital visit reminder, and discussion group), and outcome. Outcome layer was composed of the following domains: quality of life, psychological and cognitive, physical activity, physical functioning, symptoms, engagement, and the outcome of the process and IT tools.
conclusioneHealth could provide useful services for supporting colorectal cancer survivors. Represented framework might be used for a better understanding of current technology and services provided to support these survivors. Also, this framework may be used as a basis for designing eHealth applications for colorectal cancer survivors after further validations.
