Testing a mobile peer support intervention for persons with serious mental illness (DigiPer) in community mental health services: a feasibility study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionPersons with serious mental illness (SMI) often have coexisting medical conditions and experience a significantly reduced life expectancy compared with the general population. Peer support is considered an effective care approach for this population, and with rapid technological advancements, digital peer support, such as the DigiPer mobile application, can be a feasible self-management tool for persons with SMI. The study aims to assess the feasibility of DigiPer for persons with SMI in the Norwegian community mental health service settings. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This feasibility study will incorporate both qualitative and quantitative methods. The study consists of three phases: (1) simulation-based training among peer support workers using qualitative individual interviews; (2) pre-post study of DigiPer among peer support workers and service users using quantitative questionnaires and (3) process evaluation for peer support workers and service users using qualitative individual interviews. Peer support workers (n=5) and service users with SMI (n=15) will be recruited to evaluate the feasibility of DigiPer. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval was granted from the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics (reference no. 853041), along with an assessment of processing of personal data by the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (reference no. 810990). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at relevant national and international scientific conferences.
