Lessons learned in the development and evaluation of RxCoach™, an mHealth app to increase tobacco cessation medication adherence.
Article in Patient education and counseling, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
objectiveIn this project we developed and evaluated a mobile health app to improve adherence to tobacco cessation medication.
methodsThe study was conducted in three phases: (1) Create app with input from our consultant, focus groups and user testing; (2) Test feasibility of the app; and (3) Develop and user-test the barcode scanner.
resultsFocus group feedback was instrumental in developing content and creating the user interface. User testing helped to identify problems and refine the app. The feasibility trial provided "real world" testing. We experienced challenges in recruitment due to the inclusion criteria. We had high attrition due to technical issues, medication side effects, enrollment procedures, and lack of personal contact. Among the five retained participants, use of the app was associated with good medication adherence and high consumer satisfaction.
conclusionThe small sample size limits the generalizability of the findings and the conclusions that can be drawn from the study. However, the feasibility trial enabled the team to identify ways to improve the conduct of this and other mHealth studies. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: We should expand RxCoach to include all prescription and over-the-counter tobacco cessation medications, and re-test for feasibility using lessons learned to improve recruitment and retention.
