Evidence-based digital health interventions for breast cancer survivors' care: an umbrella review.
Review in Internet interventions, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: As breast cancer survival rates continue to rise, the number of breast cancer survivors (BCS) requiring supportive care is increasing, placing additional strain on healthcare systems facing resource shortages. In response, digital health is rapidly evolving, and research on eHealth interventions is expanding significantly. Therefore, we conducted an umbrella review to summarize the evidence on digital health interventions aimed at improving health-related outcomes for BCS. Methods: The protocol was preregistered in PROSPERO (CDR42022341837). The Preferred Reporting Items for Overviews of Reviews (PRIOR) were followed. Five databases were searched (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Reviews, IEEE Xplore) in July 2022 and updated in April 2024. Systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses examining digital health interventions targeting BCS health-related outcomes were included. Two reviewers independently selected reviews, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the included reviews through AMSTAR-2. Results: Seventeen systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria, and ninety-two original studies on digital health interventions for BCS were identified across them. Overall, digital health interventions seem to improve physical activity outcomes, although effects on quality of life and psychological outcomes are less clear. The quality of most systematic reviews was low, and conclusion should be interpreted with caution. Conclusions: Digital health interventions show some potential in improving health-related outcomes for BCS. However, more robust, theory-driven, and outcome-specific studies are needed to clarify the potential effects of these interventions on the unique needs of specific cancer populations.
