Perspectives of Kidney Transplant Recipients on eHealth: Semistructured Interviews.
Article in Transplantation direct, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The acceptability and impact of eHealth on patient outcomes may be limited if their concerns and priorities are not addressed. This study aimed to describe the perspectives and experiences of eHealth among kidney transplant recipients. Methods: Face-to-face semistructured interviews were conducted with 30 adult kidney transplant recipients from New South Wales, Australia (urban and regional), in ambulatory clinics. We used purposive sampling to obtain a wide range of demographic and clinical characteristics. Transcripts were analyzed thematically. Ethics was approved by the Western Sydney Local Health District (6054-2019/ETH08718). Findings: Six themes were identified: seeking access to quality care (prioritizing and trusting clinician advice, better safety and timeliness, enabled by user-friendly content); supporting self-management (responsive to individualized informational need, empowerment through practical knowledge, encouraging connectedness); assessing reliability and trustworthiness (discerning information integrity, applying to own context, apprehensive about privacy and confidentiality); enhancing health system capabilities (synergy with routine consultations, essential to coordination, achieving goals by real-time monitoring); technology burden and limitation (uncertainty with navigation and comprehension, challenged by technical difficulties, requiring additional preparation, confrontation and distress); and lacking applicable value (diminished assurance of medical services, existing practice and procedures, hampered by low expectations and disinterest). Conclusion: Recipients felt eHealth could support healthcare delivery and self-management activities. However, they encountered challenges in navigating technology and were concerned about privacy, confidentiality, and misinformation. eHealth that is accessible, individualized, and secure may improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
