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

Background and Objective: With the increased adoption of digital health solutions, such as telehealth, there is a need to consider current practices and considerations towards digital health Literacy. The objective of this review is to explore what digital health literacy considerations have been detailed in cystic fibrosis telehealth papers. Methods: The found papers published from a recent systematic review exploring telehealth within cystic fibrosis care were taken and analysed. These papers were obtained from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases and included any paper written in English up to May 2021. Data pertaining to Health Literacy, Digital Literacy/Competency, Digital Health Literacy, Training, Readiness Assessments, and Sustained Use were extrapolated using Elicit AI Research Assistant 2024. Key Content and Findings: From the 26 papers, the data of interest was sparse and mostly unavailable for this review. This may be due to several reasons; however the implication of this mitigation is discussed with reference to the digital divide, health in-equalities, and safety. Conclusions: This review highlights that a structured approach to assess digital health literacy of care teams and people with cystic fibrosis is critical to the future success of safe telehealth use, and other digital health solutions.
