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
backgroundDigital health has revolutionized oncology care by offering educational content for informed decisions, facilitating health monitoring, and enhancing access to psychological support. Understanding digital literacy and the requirements of patients with cancer and healthcare providers (HCPs) are essential for developing effective digital health services. We explored the awareness of and demand for digital health and the factors influencing usage intention among patients with cancer and HCPs, focusing on digital literacy.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the "Digital Health Awareness and Demand Survey," conducted between October 2023 and February 2024, involving 200 patients with cancer and 204 HCPs. We assessed digital health usage intention, awareness, understanding, and literacy. Digital literacy was measured using a self-assessment tool for Digital Literacy Competence (DLC). Hierarchical linear regression analysis determined the factors affecting digital health usage intentions.
resultsBoth patients with cancer and HCPs exhibited strong willingness to use digital health services, scoring 4.03 ± 0.90 and 3.98 ± 0.67, respectively, on a 1-5 Likert scale. High digital literacy was positively associated with the intention to use digital health (DH-Intention to use), especially DLC-Value among patients with cancer (
conclusionDigital literacy and understanding of digital health significantly affected the participants' willingness to use these services. Promoting digital literacy may encourage patients with cancer to adopt digital health, and its usefulness should be highlighted. HCPs can benefit from comprehensive education and training by integrating digital health into their specialties and practices.
