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
Introduction: As public services in South Korea rapidly digitalize, adults with disabilities remain at heightened risk of digital exclusion beyond access barriers. This study aims to identify joint profiles of digital attitudes and digital self-efficacy among adults with disabilities and examine their associations with digital application competence. We further test whether these associations differ by disability type. Methods: This study used nationally representative data from the 2024 Digital Information Divide Survey (DIDS; Results: First, latent profile analysis identified five profiles: Low Attitudes-Low Self-Efficacy, Moderate Attitudes-Moderate Self-Efficacy, High Attitudes-Low Self-Efficacy, High Attitudes-High Self-Efficacy, and Very High Attitudes-Very High Self-Efficacy. Second, relative to the Low Attitudes-Low Self-Efficacy profile, all other profiles were associated with higher digital application competence, with the largest advantages observed for the High Attitudes-High Self-Efficacy and Very High Attitudes-Very High Self-Efficacy profiles. Finally, disability type did not significantly moderate the association between psychological profiles and competence, although baseline digital application competence differed across disability types. Conclusion: These findings underscore meaningful psychological heterogeneity among adults with disabilities and show that attitude-self-efficacy configurations are systematically linked to task-oriented digital competence. Digital inclusion efforts should combine profile-informed support, especially strengthening digital self-efficacy, with accessibility-oriented design and structural supports in digital service environments.
