Evaluation methods of internet of things in nursing care interventions for older adults: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe internet of things (IoT) is widely used in nursing care for older adults as it improves the efficiency and quality of care, especially in real-time health monitoring, disease management and remote patient supervision. However, no studies have been identified that map the evaluation methods used in existing IoT technology applications for nursing care interventions. This scoping review will map and categorise the evaluation methods used in nursing care interventions examining the IoT for older adults. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will be conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute framework, which encompasses defining inclusion criteria, developing a search strategy, identifying information sources, selecting source of evidence, extracting data, collating data, summarising findings and presenting results. English, Chinese and Japanese databases will be searched (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, VIP, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Ichu-shi Web and CiNii research) for sources published from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2024. The results will be reported descriptively and thematically according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines for reporting. Descriptive statistics and narrative analysis methods will be conducted to summarise the relevant topics. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required for this scoping review, as it encompasses a secondary analysis of previously published literature and does not involve the collection of primary data pertaining to human subjects. The findings of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
