Implementation strategies for digital relapse prevention in schizophrenia identified during a randomized controlled trial.
Article in NPJ digital 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
Digital mental health technologies hold promise, yet their integration into routine care remains challenging. This study reports findings from an implementation workshop conducted midway through an ongoing multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating a smartphone-based relapse prevention app for patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Sixteen stakeholders, including developers, researchers, and clinicians, discussed experiences and barriers using a semi-structured agenda, incorporating prior feedback from three focus groups with people with lived experience, and analyzed the discussions using an adopted R(E)-AIM framework (Reach, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance). Findings highlight the need for structural, technical, and personnel adjustments to support sustainable implementation. Key recommendations include integrating digital tools into discharge planning, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, delegating digital responsibilities, and streamlining technical workflows to facilitate seamless adoption. These insights inform feasibility considerations and strategic requirements for digital interventions in severe mental illness, offering guidance for future RCTs and practice-oriented integration of digital therapeutics in psychiatric care.
