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

Digital health technologies are growing at a rapid pace and changing the healthcare landscape. Our current understanding of digital health literacy in Parkinson's disease (PD) is limited. In this review, we discuss the potential challenges of low digital health literacy in PD with particular attention to telehealth, deep brain stimulation, wearable sensors, and smartphone applications. We also highlight inequities in access to digital health technologies. Future research is needed to better understand digital health literacy among individuals with PD and to develop effective solutions. We must invest resources to evaluate, understand, and enhance digital health literacy for individuals with PD.
