1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As digital health technologies become increasingly integrated into health care systems worldwide, there is growing recognition that their full potential can be realized only when development is rooted in patient engagement (PE). Despite its proven value in clinical research and health care delivery, PE remains insufficiently embedded in digital health design and implementation. This perspective paper explores the current state of PE in digital health through findings from the Stakeholder Expectations Matrix program developed by Patient Focused Medicines Development. Drawing from 37 in-depth interviews across 6 key stakeholder groups, complemented by insights gathered during a multisession cocreation track at the Patient Engagement Open Forum, this paper highlights differing perspectives on digital health, the barriers to meaningful engagement, and the fragmented nature of data governance and technology adoption. Findings point not only to significant gaps in shared understanding, infrastructure, and policy but also to clear opportunities for collaboration, including early recommendations for building a more inclusive and patient-centered digital health ecosystem, one that supports sustainable innovation, trust, and systemwide impact.
