Digital technology integration in home-based exercise: a systematic review of research evolution, applications, and impact mechanisms.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The integration of digital technologies in home-based exercise (HBE) has emerged as a critical public health intervention, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. However, comprehensive understanding of how digital technologies influence HBE research evolution and practice remains limited. This systematic review aims to: (1) map the knowledge evolution of digital technology-supported HBE research, (2) analyze innovative applications and value propositions of digital technologies in HBE, (3) identify key determinants of HBE participation in the digital era, and (4) predict future development trends. Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search of the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2024, yielding 311 articles for bibliometric analysis using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. Results indicated that digital technology-supported HBE research has grown exponentially, peaking in 2022. We identified seven core research themes, including intelligent exercise training, AI-driven fall prevention, wearable device interventions, virtual reality rehabilitation, mobile health applications, cancer patient tracking systems, and remote diagnostics. These themes highlight innovative approaches to personalized training, remote monitoring, and immersive rehabilitation experiences, demonstrating significant value in enhancing exercise adherence and health outcomes. Key determinants of HBE participation were identified at personal (social support, professional guidance, self-efficacy) and technological (digital literacy, accessibility, user interface design, data privacy) levels. Digital technologies demonstrate substantial potential for enhancing HBE accessibility, improving adherence, and reducing public health burden. Future research should prioritize addressing digital equity and developing evidence-based implementation frameworks to ensure sustainable and inclusive digital health interventions.
