Facilitators and Barriers to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome (ePRO) Adoption in Oncology Clinical Trials: A Qualitative Study of Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs).
Article in Therapeutic innovation & regulatory science, 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
backgroundInterest in using patients' own mobile devices for electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) collection in multi-site oncology clinical trials is growing. Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs) play a key role in supporting patients' use of ePRO systems, yet their perspectives remain underexplored.
objectiveTo explore the facilitators and barriers to the adoption of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)-based ePRO systems in oncology clinical trials.
methodsTwenty-three CRPs employed in institutes affiliated with National Clinical Trials Network participated in 1:1 semi-structured interviews to explore CRP perceptions of BYOD ePRO systems. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize sample characteristics and attitudes toward technology. Interview data were analyzed using content analysis.
resultsA total of 23 CRPs participated in the study. Participants were predominantly female and White, with a mean age of 40 years and an average of 7.6 years of work experience across academic and community-based sites. Interview data revealed two categories: CRP-related, which mainly addressed CRP mixed perspectives of workload change; and non-CRP-related, which addressed CRP observations of patients' poor technology competencies related to digital divide, and challenges regarding non-user-friendly system interfaces.
conclusionsCRP-perceived facilitators/barriers identified in this study may influence whether CRPs and clinical trial participants will embrace ePRO systems. Additional research is needed to explore ways to improve system usability for all stakeholders.
