A systematic review of consumers' and healthcare professionals' trust in digital healthcare.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Despite the well-documented importance of trust in digital healthcare, its domains are not well-understood, preventing theoretically robust instruments for standardised measurements. We identified instruments measuring trust in digital healthcare, explored definitions, associated factors, and outcomes. We systematically reviewed the literature using tailored searches and 49 studies measuring trust in digital healthcare from either consumers', healthcare professionals', or both perspectives were included. Trust in digital healthcare is complex and, from a consumers' perspective, can influence digital healthcare use, adoption, acceptance, and usefulness. Consumers' trust can be affected by the degree of human interaction in automated interventions, perceived risks, privacy concerns, data accuracy, digital literacy, quality of the digital healthcare intervention, satisfaction, education, and income. Healthcare professionals' trust is enhanced by education and observing good digital health performance. While studies can benefit from rigorous trust measurements, future efforts should address the need for a theoretical framework for trust in digital healthcare.
