The inclusion and impact of digital determinants of health in digital nutrition interventions for adolescents: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Health promotion international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Digital determinants of health (DDoH) is an emerging concept that captures domains relating to both digital health adoption and health equity. Digital transformations are reshaping many aspects of healthcare and health promotion, including how adolescent nutrition interventions are developed, delivered and utilized. As digital health interventions expand in popularity, it is crucial that they do not widen existing health disparities. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether the DDoH are addressed in the development or delivery of digital nutrition interventions for adolescents, and whether this impacts access or use of these interventions to influence nutrition outcomes. Ten major electronic databases were searched and dual screened, capturing randomized controlled trials published from 2005 that aimed to improve nutrition outcomes through digital health interventions among adolescents 10-19 years. Primary outcome was objective or self-report change in nutrition intake or behaviours. DDoH assessment criteria were developed against nine pre-established dimensions. Study and intervention characteristics including information aligning with DDoH assessment criteria were extracted, and data synthesized in narrative format. Twenty articles representing 19 unique studies (13 246 participants) were identified, with 84% of studies conducted in high-income countries. All studies delivered interventions through mobile phone or computers and addressed at least one DDoH criteria. Affordability (100%) and usability (42%) were the most common DDoH criteria addressed. No studies successfully addressed all DDoH criteria. Therefore, we were unable to assess impact of addressing DDoH on adolescent nutrition outcomes. Overall, DDoH were inadequately addressed or reported in the development of digital nutrition interventions targeting adolescents.
