Impact of connected health on the psychological wellbeing and quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis and their caregivers: A systematic review.
Review in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Connected health (CH) interventions may improve psychological wellbeing and quality of life (QoL) in caregivers and people with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, this impact has not been rigorously evaluated. This systematic review aims to synthesize the literature assessing CH technology's impact on psychological wellbeing and/or QoL of people with MS (PwMS) and/or their caregivers. Methods: This systematic review's protocol is registered with International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with identification number CRD42023402434. CINAHL, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO databases were searched with terms relating to (a) CH; (b) MS; (c) psychological wellbeing/QoL; and (d) caregivers/people with MS. Of 2821 screened articles, 47 met the eligibility criteria, with just three including MS caregivers. Results: Heterogenous interventions supporting self-management ( Conclusion: CH technologies show promise in improving psychological wellbeing and QoL among PwMS and their caregivers. However, this necessitates further study comparing connected health and MS subtypes to improve reproducibility and effectiveness.
