Smartphone Ownership, Use, and Willingness to Use Smartphones to Provide Peer-Delivered Services: Results from a National Online Survey.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Assess certified peer specialists' smartphone ownership, use, and willingness to use smartphones to provide peer-delivered services. Certified peer specialist from 38 states completed an online survey. The final sample of 267 certified peer specialists included respondents from 38 states. The majority of certified peer specialists were female (73%; n = 195) and Caucasian (79.8%; n = 213), with an average age of 50.9 (SD = 12) years, range from 21 to 77 years. More than half of the certified peer specialists (82.1%; n = 184) were currently working in peer support positions. Of those who reported their mental health diagnoses, 11% reported their diagnosis as schizophrenia spectrum disorder, 22% of respondents reported bipolar disorder, and 23% reported persistent major depressive disorder. Nearly all respondents owned a smartphone (94.8%; n = 253), and everyone indicated that smartphones and tablets could enhance the services they deliver. Certified peer specialists reported substantial ownership and use of smartphones, comparable to existing national data. They are willing to deliver smartphone interventions for mental health and physical health self-management, suggesting that smartphones may be an increasingly useful tool for offering evidence-based care. Without Medicaid mandate, certified peer specialists are naturally trying to enhance peer delivered services with technology. Peer support could act as a mechanism to promote consumer engagement in a smartphone-based intervention. Certified peer specialist own and utilize smartphones, and the majority are willing to deliver technology-based and technology-enhanced interventions using these devices to address medical and psychiatric self-management.
