Identifying essential factors that influence user engagement with digital mental health tools in clinical care settings: Protocol for a Delphi study.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Improving effective user engagement with digital mental health tools has become a priority in enabling the value of digital health. With increased interest from the mental health community in embedding digital health tools as part of care delivery, there is a need to examine and identify the essential factors in influencing user engagement with digital mental health tools in clinical care. The current study will use a Delphi approach to gain consensus from individuals with relevant experience and expertise (e.g. patients, clinicians and healthcare administrators) on factors that influence user engagement (i.e. an essential factor). Methods: Participants will be invited to complete up to four rounds of online surveys. The first round of the Delphi study comprises of reviewing existing factors identified in literature and commenting on whether any factors they believe are important are missing from the list. Subsequent rounds will involve asking participants to rate the perceived impact of each factor in influencing user engagement with digital mental health tools in clinical care contexts. This work is expected to consolidate the perspectives from relevant stakeholders and the academic literature to identify a core set of factors considered essential in influencing user engagement with digital mental health tools in clinical care contexts.
