Acceptance and Use of eHealth/mHealth Applications for Self-Management Among Cancer Survivors.
Article in Studies in health technology and informatics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Cancer survivors' acceptance and use of eHealth/mHealth applications for self-management can be unique and are not fully understood. We used data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 4 Cycle 4 to examine cancer survivors' acceptance and use of eHealth/mHea applications for key self-management processes, and conducted logistic regression and Rao-Scott design-adjusted Chi-square tests to assess bivariate associations between potential predictors and actual use. Potential factors were selected based on the Individual and Family Self-Management theory. High acceptance of eHealth applictions was identified, and adoption of mHealth was relatively low. Younger, higher educated, married, employed, and higher income survivors tended to use eHealth/mHealth applications for self-management. Survivors who were newly diagnosed or still on treatment were more likely to look for cancer information online or communicate with health providers electronically. BMI and rural residency were associated with use of mHealth apps to achieve a health-related goal and treatment decision-making.
