Role of digital health interventions in strengthening human resources for primary healthcare systems in India: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Inlow- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like India, Human Resources for Health (HRH) constitute the backbone of a health system, providing critical services to ensure equitable, accessible, and high-quality healthcare for all. However, they are often overburdened, which hinders their performance and impact. The digital health interventions can appear as a boon to assist and enhance the performance of HRH, thereby delivering better healthcare services. To evaluate the impact and the effectiveness of digital health interventions on healthcare workforce capacity building in primary health care settings in India. A systematic review of published research was conducted as per the PRISMA guidelines. Online databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) were explored to identify studies written in English from January 2015 to March 2025 that discuss digital health interventions within Primary Healthcare settings or involve human resources in those settings in the Indian context. The review included all forms of messaging, voice calls, and interactive voice responses as interventions. A total of 22 studies were included (cRCTs: 6; RCTs: 5; interventional: 4; Quasi-experimental: 3; pre-post: 3; pseudo-RCT: 1). In terms of health conditions, the most studied area was Maternal and Child Health, addressed in 9 studies. The studies reported positive outcomes resulting from mobile health interventions. The digital health interventions were found to strengthen adherence to clinical protocols, improve maternal education, and enhance treatment outcomes, reinforcing their potential role in shaping future public health strategies.
