Demographic and socioeconomic determinants of adherence in digital patient-reported outcomes among patients with chronic diseases.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Engaging patients in the digital collection of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) and experience measures (ePREMs) is desirable for equitable, patient-centred chronic disease management; however, adherence remain unclear. This study examined demographic and socioeconomic determinants of adherence using ePROMs and ePREMs collected from patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and coronary artery disease across Germany. Of the 200,338 patients invited to complete digital surveys, 4657 consented (initiation; 2.32%) and 2375 completed at least one ePROM (implementation; 51.00% of initiation). Initiation was highest among asthma patients (3.42%) and lowest among those aged ≥75 years (1.09%). Implementation followed an inverse U-shaped age pattern and was lowest among patients with diabetes and those with low or unreported income. Findings indicate barriers to adherence associated with demographic and socioeconomic factors. Strategies such as inclusive engagement, integration of surveys into clinical care, and clinical endorsement may improve adherence. Trial registration: drks.de; Identifier: DRKS00031656.
