Digital health literacy-a key factor in realizing the value of digital transformation in healthcare.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Background: Digital health technologies and AI are transforming healthcare by improving access, optimizing care, and enabling personalized, preventive, and predictive solutions. However, digital health literacy remains a critical barrier, affecting individuals' ability to engage with digital health technologies (DHTs) and limiting progress toward digital health equity. Aims: To propose a framework that captures the complexity of digital health literacy and guides research, and to share key insights from the Improving Digital Empowerment for Active Healthy Living EU project. Results: We introduce a conceptual framework that explores digital health literacy's interactions with social determinants, providing a foundation for research, policy, and practice. Insights from the project (Improving Digital Empowerment for Active Healthy Living), involving 14 partners across 10 European countries, offer evidence-based strategies to empower individuals and promote digital inclusion. Concluding remarks: To keep pace with technological advancements, digital health literacy should be integrated into lifelong learning initiatives. Urgent research is needed to inform policies and guide interventions that enhance digital health literacy and ensure equitable digital transformation in healthcare.
