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
purposeDigital health technologies hold significant promise for the adoption of individualised care by promoting self-management. This study aimed to explore the experiences and perceived impact of using digital health technologies on individualised care among breast cancer survivors who had completed the first year after their primary treatment.
methodThe data of the study based on a thematic analysis approach were collected by holding individual online interviews with seven breast cancer survivors (n = 7).
resultsThe participants described digital health technologies as valuable tools that supported their physical recovery, emotional well-being, and self-management after primary treatment. Mobile applications and wearable devices helped them monitor symptoms, manage fatigue, and maintain healthy habits, while online platforms provided social and emotional support for them. However, the participants also reported challenges, including unequal access, limited interactivity, the lack of applications supporting personalised care, and insufficient individualised guidance from healthcare professionals.
conclusionBreast cancer survivors found digital health tools effective for personalised care but highlighted the need for more functional, inclusive, and holistic solutions. They emphasised better communication with healthcare providers and tailored follow-up systems. To meet long-term needs, digital applications should offer customised counselling, ongoing monitoring, and personalised content, supporting both patient-centred care and provider communication.
