Bridging the Research-Practice Gap: Diffusion and User Experience of a Digital Health Platform in Swedish Athletics.
Article in Translational sports medicine, 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
Background: Evidence-based health information often fails to reach everyday sports practice, leaving a gap between research and real-world application. Digital platforms can help bridge this research-practice gap by disseminating accessible and sport-specific health guidance to coaches, parents, and athletes. Objective: To evaluate the diffusion and user experience of Methods: A multimethods, cross-sectional study was conducted among coaches and parents of athletes aged 12-15 years. Quantitative data ( Results: Thirty-one percent of respondents had heard of the platform, and 27% had initially adopted it. Adoption was higher among coaches, especially those with training in sports medicine or athletics. Adopters reported high perceived usefulness and credibility but identified navigation and structural limitations as barriers to ease of use. Conclusion: Passive diffusion resulted in modest reach. Integrating the platform into coach education and improving usability and promotion may enhance adoption and sustained engagement within Swedish Athletics.
