Acceptability of Mobile Health Technology for Promoting Fluid Consumption in Patients With Nephrolithiasis.
Article in Urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo evaluate kidney stone patients' interest in lifestyle behavior modification and a variety of mobile health (mHealth) technologies to improve adherence to fluid consumption recommendations for the prevention of nephrolithiasis. Of particular interest was the acceptability of various intervention components for the design of a stone-specific mHealth technology. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing a cross-sectional design, adult patients with a diagnosis of kidney stones (n = 94) were recruited from outpatient clinics to complete a three-part questionnaire.
resultsPatients reported being willing to make lifestyle changes to prevent kidney stones (97%). The majority of the patients recalled the recommendation to increase fluid intake (93%) but few monitored their daily fluid intake (30%). Most patients had never installed an app (95%) or owned a device (100%) to help with increasing fluid consumption, but believed an app or device could improve their adherence (72%) and would be interested in using an app or device (86%). The mHealth intervention components most widely perceived as useful included automated lapse detection with notifications, educational materials, self-monitoring tools, scheduler with prompts and/or reminders and/or notifications, connected water bottles and text message reminders to drink.
conclusionPatients are interested in lifestyle behavior change to prevent stones but technology has not been widely adopted to improve adherence to fluid intake recommendations for stone prevention. This study identified a number of viable mHealth intervention components that should be considered when designing a stone-specific mHealth technology to support adherence to increased fluid consumption recommendations.
