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

Objectives: eHealth interventions favor those with higher socio-economic positions (SEPs). This can widen disparities, as people with lower SEPs may lack resources and face digital or financial barriers, making tailored solutions necessary. This study evaluates professionals' perceptions of the Inclusive eHealth Guide (IeG) regarding its content. The aim was to ensure it meets the needs of professionals and the targeted lower SEP demographic, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of eHealth interventions. Methods: This mixed-method study used qualitative research through semi-structured interviews and the think-aloud method with 13 professionals involved in eight different eHealth lifestyle interventions using the eHealth guide. Quantitative feedback was obtained through a survey with evaluative multiple-choice questions. Participants evaluated the IeG at various stages. They identified positive aspects and points for improvement, and provided recommendations for the guide's content and structure. Results: Participants valued the IeG's practicality and comprehensiveness, noting its usefulness in developing accessible eHealth solutions for populations with lower SEP. They suggested improving content clarity, expanding informational depth, and refining the guide's structure. Conclusions: The IeG has potential as a valuable tool for professionals developing eHealth interventions for lower SEP populations. Continuous refinement is crucial to ensure the guide remains relevant and effective, contributing to reducing health disparities.
