Digital health interventions in chronic kidney disease: levelling the playing field?
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 5 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
Digital health interventions (DHIs) have long been thought of as a convenient way to deliver aspects of healthcare and broaden access to services. For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), DHIs designed to improve health literacy, self-efficacy and health-related behaviours such as physical activity, diet and adherence have been developed and are being tested, but their translation into clinical practice will be challenging. While DHIs potentially have broad reach, it is increasingly clear that patients from lower socio-economic and educational backgrounds, minority ethnic groups, elderly patients and those who face digital poverty are the least likely to access and benefit from DHIs, when they are precisely the patients who stand to gain the most. This article discusses the potential for DHIs to level the playing field for patients with CKD as well as the steps researchers, clinicians and developers should consider ensuring DHIs are developed, in collaboration with patients, to be inclusive and effective, as well as strategies that should be considered during development to support translation into practice.
