Role of health information technology in enhancing chronic disease management: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionChronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, represent a significant burden on global health systems. Health information technology (HIT) offers innovative solutions to improve disease management, patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. However, the diverse applications and impacts of HIT in chronic disease management are not well understood. The objective of this scoping review is to assess the extent and type of evidence on the role of HIT in enhancing chronic disease management. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol outlines a scoping review to assess the extent and nature of the evidence on the role of HIT in managing chronic diseases. The review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. This review will include studies involving adult patients with chronic diseases. The focus will be on various HIT interventions, including electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth services, mobile health (mHealth) applications, remote monitoring devices and health information exchanges (HIEs). Studies conducted in primary care, hospital and community health settings will be considered. Exclusions will include studies focused on paediatric populations or non-digital health interventions. We will include quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies published from January 2013 to December 2024. A comprehensive search will be conducted across PubMed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus and Google Scholar. Reference lists of included studies will be screened for additional sources. Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts and full texts, extract data and resolve discrepancies through discussion or consultation with a third reviewer. The study is scheduled to begin in May 2025 and conclude by November 2025, and the process will be documented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow diagram. The data will be presented as tables, charts and a narrative summary. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: As this review involves the analysis of publicly available literature, ethical approval is not required. The results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and engagements with stakeholders involved in chronic disease care and digital health policy. The authors will also explore opportunities to share supplementary materials in open-access repositories to promote transparency and reproducibility.
