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

Purpose: The development of home-based clinical interventions and healthcare supported by digital tools has rapidly advanced in recent years, promising improvements in preventive and personalized treatment, especially for aging chronic patients. However, many systems are launched without feedback from healthcare experts, essential for understanding their strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement. This study had two objectives: first, to gather expert opinions on the qualities and limitations of current home-centred healthcare trends for aging patients; second, as a case study, to obtain feedback on a novel system, Participants and Methods: A Delphi group of 60 experts from 9 countries, all with experience using digital health systems, was surveyed. A questionnaire was administered to the group focused on the limitations and qualities of current home-based digital healthcare trends. In addition, the Delphi group provided feedback on the TI-Health system. Results: A majority of experts believed that personalized healthcare delivered in the patient's home will shape the future of healthcare services. The Delphi group identified key qualities of these trends: improved service integration, enhanced patient comfort, cost reduction, and a deeper understanding of the patient's context. They also highlighted challenges, such as barriers to inter-agency collaboration and data sharing, resistance to change among healthcare professionals, and the need for strong leadership to drive the adoption of new systems. Based on the insights from the Delphi group, this work presents a refined conceptualization of the TI-Health system. Conclusion: Designing home-based clinical systems such as
