The role of digital therapeutics in the management of prostate cancer: A systematic scoping 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: Digital therapeutics (DTx) has emerged as a transformative approach in healthcare, offering innovative solutions for disease management and treatment optimization. Prostate cancer (PCa), the second most common malignancy in men, has seen increasing incidence rates, driving the development of new digital technologies for PCa management. Purpose: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current status and effectiveness of DTx in managing PCa. Methods: Based on the framework of Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a systematic search was conducted in major domestic and international databases. The search aimed to retrieve studies on DTx for PCa from database inception to November 2024. The retrieved data were systematically summarized and analyzed using descriptive numerical summaries and thematic content analysis. Results: A total of 23 studies were included. The study types were primarily randomized controlled trials. The application forms of DTx included internet-based platforms, mobile health, and wearable devices. The primary focus of DTx applications in PCa patients included survivorship support, symptom management and side-effect monitoring, psychological support and emotional management, patient education and self-management, health management and rehabilitation, and treatment adherence management. Conclusion: DTx demonstrates diverse applications in the management of PCa and has shown potential in improving patients' quality of life. Future research should integrate DTx with diagnosis and therapeutic approaches, with a particular emphasis on developing DTx tools tailored explicitly for PCa patients. High-quality randomized controlled trials should be prioritized to validate these interventions further.
