1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors experience unique psychosocial needs during and after treatment. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions are an emerging area of research to help address unmet psychosocial needs. However, few studies have examined provider perspectives on the design-to-implementation pipeline.

objectiveGuided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), our study aimed to examine provider perspectives on facilitators and barriers to implementing mHealth apps in routine clinical care.

methodsAYA oncology providers participated in a semistructured 1:1 interview on facilitators and barriers to incorporating mHealth apps as psychosocial standard of care. We conducted a directed content analysis of the interviews using a standardized CFIR codebook and construct definitions, with codebook adaptations for mHealth innovations and the population of AYAs with cancer.

resultsA total of 20 providers (mean 39, SD 7.0 years; 80% female and 70% non-Hispanic White) representing various medical and psychosocial roles participated in the interviews. The data were analyzed with 16 CFIR constructs. We identified the following facilitators to mHealth implementation across four CFIR domains: (1) Innovation: alignment with patient needs, patient-centered co-design, strong research evidence, and user-friendly design; (2) Outer Setting: shared commitment to addressing mental health needs and openness to mHealth use; (3) Inner Setting: openness to training on mHealth use; and (4) Individuals: engaging key implementation partners such as bedside nurses and social workers and strong clinical team buy-in. We identified the following barriers to mHealth implementation across three CFIR domains: (1) Innovation: associated costs, (2) Outer Setting: heavy clinical workloads, and (3) Inner Setting: lack of cross-team collaboration and communication and clinical workflow integration.

conclusionsOur findings highlight key considerations for mHealth co-design, the adoption of mHealth apps into routine care, implementation strategies, and provider training opportunities in the context of AYA cancer care. Partnering with AYA cancer survivors, families, and providers will be crucial for developing and implementing mHealth apps with the ultimate goal of advancing universally accessible evidence-based digital health care.
