1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of this study lies in articulating the relationship between digital literacy and private concern as a predictor of intention to use digital therapeutics. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn online survey was conducted through a research company among 600 panels. The survey questionnaire consists of items of digital literacy, privacy concern, perceptions, and intention to use digital therapeutics, and the participants were asked to fill out the questions online. A structural equation model was established, and the difference in paths between the MZ generation and the baby boomers were examined.

resultsPublic perception of digital therapeutics was categorized into seven factors and the dimension of digital literacy as categorized into three factors. For the MZ generation, digital literacy and privacy concern both directly and indirectly affect the digital therapeutics use intention, in that higher the level of digital literacy and the lower the privacy concern, digital therapeutics perception and digital therapeutics use intention becomes intensified. For the baby boomers, digital literacy and privacy concern positively affect digital therapeutics perception, and as digital therapeutics perception becomes more positive, digital therapeutics use intention also increases. Direct effects of digital literacy and privacy concern to digital therapeutics use intention were not found for the baby boomers.

conclusionIn order to promote the use of digital therapeutics, it is common for the MZ generation and baby boomers to develop a positive perception toward digital therapeutics by cultivating digital literacy. For the MZ generation, privacy concerns need to be cautiously considered as they negatively affect the intention to use digital therapeutics.
