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

backgroundCerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major and potentially increasing burden to public health. Digital health interventions (DHIs) could support access to and provision of high-quality health care (eg, outcomes, safety, and satisfaction), but the design and development of digital solutions and technologies lack the assessment of user needs. Research is needed to identify opportunities to address health system challenges and improve CVD care with primary users of services as the key informants of everyday requirements.

objectiveThis study aims to identify opportunities for DHIs from clients' and health care professionals' perspectives to address health system challenges and improve CVD care.

methodsThis study used a qualitative, descriptive approach. Semistructured, in-person interviews were conducted with 22 clients and 26 health care professionals in a single tertiary-level hospital in Finland between August 2021 and March 2022. The data were analyzed using a deductive and inductive content analysis.

resultsIdentified opportunities for DHIs in CVD care were organized according to clients, health care professionals, and data services and classified into 14 main categories and 27 generic categories, with 126 subcategories of requirements. DHIs for clients could support the long-term management of health and life changes brought on by CVD. They could provide access to personal health data and offer health information, support, and communication possibilities for clients and their caregivers. Health care professionals would benefit from access to relevant patient data, along with systems and tools that support competence and decision-making. Intersectoral and professional collaboration could be promoted with digital platforms and care pathways. DHIs for data services could enhance care planning and coordination with novel predictive data and interoperable systems for data exchange.

conclusionsThe combined study of client and health care professional perspectives identified several opportunities and requirements for DHIs that related to the information, availability, quality, acceptability, utilization, efficiency, and accountability challenges of health systems. These findings provide valuable social insights into digital transformation and the emerging design, development, and use of user-centered technologies and applications to address challenges and improve CVD care and health care.
