Digital health systems and inequities: exploring climate and environmental impacts.
Article in Oxford open digital health, 2026. 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
The digital health community has taken an increased interest in climate and environmental issues. At the same time, and even though equity considerations have been central to digital health for decades, equity-focused approaches to climate and the environment have been less considered. In this commentary, we emphasize the need for equity to remain central to digital health as it shifts to address climate and environment-related challenges. We provided four case examples: electronic waste, early warning systems, digital systems infrastructure vulnerability and artificial intelligence resource use, to demonstrate the climate/environment digital health inequity nexus. We stress that, in not attending to this relationship, the digital transition may amplify rather than reduce inequities associated with climate and environmental challenges. We include a call to action for those in the digital health community to include equity considerations in the planning and designing of digital health solutions and systems aimed at addressing such climate and environmental challenges and beyond.
