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

Patient-generated health data (PGHD) from apps and wearables hold significant potential for enhancing personalised care and medical research. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are key to its successful adoption, as their attitudes can either support or hinder its integration into clinical practice. This review systematically analysed studies on HCPs' and researchers' perspectives on PGHD for clinical and research use. Three databases were searched for articles published between January 2013 and April 2023. Of 246 articles screened, 33 met the inclusion criteria. While most participants viewed PGHD positively, concerns around data security, reliability, and workflow integration persist. Addressing these barriers is essential to maximising PGHD's benefits for participatory medicine and improved clinical outcomes. The included studies presented medium methodological quality, particularly among quantitative and mixed methods with risks of sampling and nonresponse bias, and often low sample sizes in qualitative studies. However, recurring themes across studies allow a valuable interpretation of the findings.
