Use of Digital Health Interventions for Cancer Prevention Among People Living With Disabilities in the United States: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe use of digital health strategies for cancer care increased dramatically in the United States over the past 4 years. However, a dearth of knowledge remains about the use of digital health for cancer prevention for some populations with heath disparities. Therefore, the purpose of the present scoping review was to identify digital health interventions for cancer prevention designed for people with disabilities.
methodsThis scoping review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews and the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. The Embase, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and CINAHL/EBSCO databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles published from database inception to February 5, 2024. Reports published in English of studies that employed digital health strategies for cancer prevention, were conducted among people with disabilities regardless of age, and were conducted in the United States were included.
findingsFollowing screening for eligibility, seven articles were identified. The types of disabilities were cancer (n = 4), bipolar I or II disorder (n = 1), obesity (n = 1), and deafness (n = 1). Interventions focused on education (n = 4), screening (n = 3), smoking cessation (n = 3), physical activity (n = 1), and cessation support (n = 1). Digital health strategies consisted of educational content delivered online, text messaging, interactive educational games, and downloadable informational applications. The common outcome of interest across all manuscripts was intervention efficacy.
interpretationOverall, limited research is available to evaluate the use of digital health for cancer prevention among people with disabilities. This review identified gaps in knowledge that, if addressed, may help guide continued innovation in the use of digital health strategies for cancer prevention among people with disabilities.
