Current status of older people with chronic diseases adopting digital health technologies: A scoping review.
Review in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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: Digital health technologies (DHTs) promise enhanced health for older people, yet the digital divide hinders adoption and utilization. This study aimed to identify DHTs that can help older people in chronic disease management, specifically the facilitators, barriers, needs, and scenarios. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE for studies published in English between 2000 and 2024. Analysis of included articles included descriptive synthesis and thematic analysis. Results: Forty-seven studies were included, yielding 148 DHTs classified as Medical services and support ( Conclusions: Digital health technologies are widely used, especially in developed countries, but challenges remain in developing countries and among specific patient. Future studies should focus on addressing concerns about DHT availability, security, and reliability in older people, actively incorporating feedback, providing personalized service, and fully mobilizing positive social factors to promote DHTs.
