Generative AI-based knowledge graphs for the illustration and development of mHealth self-management content.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Digital therapeutics (DTx) in the form of mobile health (mHealth) self-management programs have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing disease activity across various diseases, including fibromyalgia and arthritis. However, the content of online self-management programs varies widely, making them difficult to compare. Aim: This study aims to employ generative artificial intelligence (AI)-based knowledge graphs and network analysis to categorize and structure mHealth content at the example of a fibromyalgia self-management program. Methods: A multimodal mHealth online self-management program targeting fibromyalgia and post-viral fibromyalgia-like syndromes was developed. In addition to general content, the program was customized to address specific features and digital personas identified through hierarchical agglomerative clustering applied to a cohort of 202 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes undergoing multimodal assessment. Text files consisting of 22,150 words divided into 24 modules were used as the input data. Two generative AI web applications, ChatGPT-4 (OpenAI) and Infranodus (Nodus Labs), were used to create knowledge graphs and perform text network analysis, including 3D visualization. A sentiment analysis of 129 patient feedback entries was performed. Results: The ChatGPT-generated knowledge graph model provided a simple visual overview with five primary edges: "Mental health challenges", "Stress and its impact", "Immune system function", "Long COVID and fibromyalgia" and "Pain management and therapeutic approaches". The 3D visualization provided a more complex knowledge graph, with the term "pain" appearing as the central edge, closely connecting with "sleep", "body", and "stress". Topical cluster analysis identified categories such as "chronic pain management", "sleep hygiene", "immune system function", "cognitive therapy", "healthy eating", "emotional development", "fibromyalgia causes", and "deep relaxation". Gap analysis highlighted missing links, such as between "negative behavior" and "systemic inflammation". Retro-engineering of the self-management program showed significant conceptual similarities between the knowledge graph and the original text analysis. Sentiment analysis of free text patient comments revealed that most relevant topics were addressed by the online program, with the exception of social contacts. Conclusion: Generative AI tools for text network analysis can effectively structure and illustrate DTx content. Knowledge graphs are valuable for increasing the transparency of self-management programs, developing new conceptual frameworks, and incorporating feedback loops.
