A practical step-by-step approach for patient and public involvement in eHealth intervention research: Lessons learned from three case projects.

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
Background: The importance of patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is increasingly acknowledged. PPI is a collaborative approach in which research is conducted with or by end-users. It can enhance research quality and benefit the involved end-users. However, involving end-users in the non-linear and often interdisciplinary process of eHealth development can be challenging. While many resources on PPI exist, a functional and practical overview tailored to eHealth research is lacking. This paper presents a step-by-step approach to support PPI implementation in eHealth intervention research. Methods: Three (ongoing) eHealth projects, each targeting a different population and applying different forms of PPI, informed the approach development. It was iteratively refined based on insights gained from these projects and feedback from other researchers and end-users involved in one of the projects. Results: A six-step approach was developed, each step accompanied by reflective questions to support preparation and evaluation. The steps are: (1) Conclusion: The approach integrates literature with practical, field-based insights. We hope that the approach inspires and supports researchers in implementing meaningful PPI in research.
