A Multi-step Usability Evaluation of a Self-Management App to Support Medication Adherence in Persons Living with HIV.
Article in International journal of medical informatics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
purposeAdherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential to HIV management and sustaining viral suppression. Despite simplified regimens, adherence remains difficult for certain persons living with HIV (PLWH). There is evidence to support the use of mHealth apps for effective self-management in PLWH; however, a medication adherence app with real-time monitoring for this population has not been developed and rigorously evaluated by PLWH. We developed a mHealth app (WiseApp) for HIV self-management to help PLWH self-manage their health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usability of the WiseApp.
methodsWe conducted a three-step usability evaluation using 1) a traditional think-aloud protocol with end-users, 2) a heuristic evaluation with experts in informatics, and 3) a cognitive walkthrough with end-users. During the cognitive walkthrough, we tested two devices (fitness tracker and medication tracking bottle) that were linked to the WiseApp.
resultsThe think-aloud protocol informed iterative updates to the app, specifically to make it easier to see different sections of the app. The heuristic evaluation confirmed the necessity of these design changes. The cognitive walkthrough informed additional updates and confirmed that overall, the app and the linked devices were usable for the end-users.
conclusionThe results of the cognitive walkthrough with both experts and end-users informed iterative refinements to the WiseApp and finalization of a mHealth app for PLWH to better self-manage their health.
