A person-centered approach to digital health technologies for cancer prevention: Qualitative findings on use of technology-based interventions in Houston, Texas.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Physical inactivity, poor nutrition, and obesity are significant, yet preventable contributors to morbidity and mortality among adults. This qualitative study examined internet access and technology use, and barriers and facilitators to engaging in digital cancer prevention programs. Methods: We conducted 30-60-min semi-structured interviews of Hispanic adults ( Results: Participants (95 % women, mean age for Hispanic adults = 39.8 ± 7.9 years, 54.6 ± 5.4 years for cancer survivors) shared their experiences transitioning to virtual programs and discussed performance and effort expectancies related to using digital health technologies. Participants emphasized the need for social interactions and lack of connectivity in current virtual offerings. Factors such as prior experience and tech-related anxiety were also discussed as important for the uptake of technology-based programs. Conclusions: Qualitative findings highlight the complex experiences of cancer prevention program participants using digital health technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic and can inform interventions and policies aimed at reducing health inequalities linked to the digital divides.
