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.

methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2018. The studied population consisted 540 hospitalized patients from educational hospitals affiliated to Urmia university of medical sciences. For data collection, a self-designed questionnaire was developed which valid and reliable instrument to be measured. The statistical analysis of data was done using the SPSS Software.
resultsmore patients' interest to use of ICT tools in case of social media (34%), computer-based (25%) and the most common applications ICT tools included patient education (34%) and searching health information (23%). The most factors effective in the usage of ICT tools by patients were related to ease of using ICT tools (4.82), ICT tools reliability (4.73) and design ICT tools based on patient needs and preferences (4.68) respectively.
conclusionThe ICT tools are critical to patient self- care. To encourage more ICT adoption, patients should be made aware of the benefits of ICT and active involvement in the process of technology development. It seems necessary; ICT tools should be designed user-friendly, easy to use, reliable and usable.
