Strategies to promote the dissemination of psychosocial digital health resources for those affected by cancer: scoping review.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 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
purposeThe objective of this review is to map the evidence on dissemination strategies employed to promote awareness and uptake of psychosocial digital health resources for those affected by cancer while also addressing the barriers and facilitators to effective dissemination.
methodsA scoping review was undertaken using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) protocol. A wide range of keywords was used to form search terms for four databases, namely MEDical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System onLINE (MEDLINE), Cumulated Index in Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and PsycInfo.
resultsWe screened 5045 articles for inclusion after the initial automated removal of duplicate and ineligible items. A total of 4691 articles were excluded during title and abstract screening. A further 324 articles were excluded during the full-text screening stage. We included 30 articles in our analysis. Bibliometric analysis indicated that many low-to-middle-income countries are under-represented in the literature. Caregivers were seldom targeted in dissemination strategies. Other key themes emerging from our analysis include the need to close geographical, cultural, and digital divides and to increase the trust and credibility of interventions.
conclusionThis paper presents the first review consolidating research on psychosocial digital resource dissemination targeting those affected by cancer. These findings are of relevance to both oncology experts and researchers, who may use this review to reflect on how best to disseminate developed digital resources to cancer-affected populations. When considering the dissemination of an online resource in the future, researchers should focus on creating co-designed digital interventions for caregivers and targeting more diverse populations using both traditional and digital dissemination materials.
