The effectiveness of eHealth-based cardiovascular disease risk communication: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. 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
This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the effectiveness of eHealth-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk communication and its impact on health-related outcomes. Twenty-three RCTs were included. The eHealth-based CVD risk communication showed significant improvements in controlling systolic blood pressure (P = 0.03), low-density lipoprotein (P = 0.02), physical activity (P = 0.003), smoking cessation (P = 0.004), disease awareness (P = 0.002), and quality of life (P = 0.03). No significant effects were found for other outcomes, including diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and overall risk scores. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential role of eHealth-based risk communication in CVD prevention. In addition, existing risk communication interventions are multicomponent, and future research could standardize intervention components and optimize intervention elements using the Behavior Change Techniques Taxonomy and factorial designs, while developing targeted risk communication strategies for different populations to improve health outcomes.
