Scoping review protocol of E-Health interventions targeting Indigenous populations.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionElectronic health (E-Health) technologies present a valuable opportunity to enhance healthcare access and outcomes for Indigenous populations by addressing persistent, often structurally determined, health disparities. Despite increasing recognition of the potential of E-Health interventions, there remains a lack of comprehensive synthesis of their modalities, cultural appropriateness and implementation within Indigenous communities globally. This scoping review will aim to systematically map the landscape of E-Health interventions for Indigenous populations, identifying effective strategies and gaps in current research and practice. By documenting global evidence, this review will contribute to broader efforts to integrate Indigenous health considerations into policy and practice, supporting health equity and realising the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. A comprehensive search of multiple databases will be conducted to identify studies on E-Health interventions in Indigenous communities between 2013 and 2025. The review will focus on interventions targeting Indigenous populations published in English. A two-stage screening process, comprising abstract/title screening followed by full-text screening, will be independently conducted by two reviewers. A standardised data extraction template will be used, and qualitative data will be synthesised using narrative synthesis and thematic analysis. Quantitative data will be presented descriptively using graphs, diagrams or tables. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: As the study relied on publicly available research, institutional review board approval is not required. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
