Bridging the Digital Healthcare Gap in Rural Areas to Strengthen Communities and Enhance Care Delivery.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This editorial explores the transformative impact of digital health technologies in rural areas, focusing on their role in bridging healthcare gaps and empowering communities. Drawing from research in Unnan City, the article highlights how social network-based platforms, such as the LINE app (LY Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), have enabled residents to seek medical advice and share health concerns anonymously. The discussion covers both the positive impacts and challenges, including misinformation and the digital divide, while emphasizing the need for thoughtful implementation and continuous education. The editorial calls for collaborative efforts to enhance the reliability and accessibility of digital health solutions, ensuring equitable healthcare access for all.
