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

Digital health applications (DHA) can provide exercise therapy, behavioral interventions or patient education. These interventions are of high relevance in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Therefore, axSpA represents a potentially promising area of DHA usage; however, no DHA has yet been officially approved for axSpA. Currently, the medical apps Axia and RheCORD Plus are in the DiGA approval track. So far, published study results are only available for Axia and appear promising. In addition to these apps, DHAs such as ViViRA or HelloBetter Chronic Pain are being tested in axSpA, and initial study results also show positive effects in this context. The use of DHAs in axSpA thus shows promising potential, although further research is needed to evaluate long-term effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and user acceptance.
