Impact of digital health interventions on medication adherence: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Digital health. 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
Background: Digital health interventions for self-management have reported improvement in medication adherence, but further studies have reported that this is not sustained. Clarity is needed on the effectiveness of digital health interventions (DHIs) for medication adherence and the characteristics of successful DHIs. Objective: This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of DHIs versus standard care in supporting medication adherence in community-based adults. Methods: Studies of DHIs that included community-based adults (18 + years) that required prescribed medications and either used, or have access to, technology to manage their illness were included for review. A literature search was conducted across eight key databases. Studies were pooled in statistical meta-analysis using a random effects model. Pooled results were estimated by subgroup analyses defined by study design, intervention duration and intervention type (platform). Results: Thirteen studies were included in the final meta-analysis ( Conclusions: The impact of DHIs on medication adherence is unclear. More rigorous clinical evidence is required to understand the impact of DHIs on medication adherence over longer durations, and further studies exploring the impact of platform type on medication adherence are required, with consideration given to the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics and analytics in the future.
