Balancing benefits and challenges of eHealth for family caregivers of people with Parkinson's disease - A qualitative study.
Article in Digital health. 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
Background: The rapid growth in eHealth has opened new possibilities for people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, given the complexity of PD symptoms, the successful adoption of eHealth likely depends on support from family caregivers. While previous research has explored the perspectives of people with PD, insights into family caregivers' perceptions of eHealth remain limited. Objective: To explore family caregivers' perceptions of eHealth in formal care and in supporting physical activity and exercise. Methods: A qualitative design was used. Interviews were conducted with 15 family caregivers (mean age 72 years, 12 women) from rural and urban Sweden. Data were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Results: Three themes were formed. Conclusion: In conclusion, family caregivers highlighted both opportunities and challenges with eHealth in PD care, valuing its potential to ease daily responsibilities and enhance flexibility, while expressing concerns about added burden, reduced social interaction, and limited professional guidance.
