PatientConcept App: Key Characteristics, Implementation, and its Potential Benefit.
Article in Neurology and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionIn addition to a wide range of disease-related burdens, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are challenged by long-term medication and complex disease management plans, often leading to decreased adherence. Earlier studies have indicated that patient support through intensified communication can positively impact adherence. During recent years, the use of mobile health applications has gained importance in patient communication and disease management.
objectiveOur objective was to describe a novel software application providing innovative features that engage patient-physician contact and to evaluate users' acceptance.
methodsA novel software application ensuring data security was developed. Various innovative modules have been implemented, enabling bidirectional communication between treating physicians and patients, supporting therapy monitoring and management, and allowing the collection of large sets of anonymous patient data. The currently conducted FASTER study will analyze the acceptance of patients and physicians using this novel application.
resultsPatientConcept is a free app available for download since 2016. Meanwhile, it has been successfully implemented. First preliminary results indicate high acceptance among users. The clinical benefit will have to be tested in larger patient populations.
conclusionThis ID-associated application may provide a secure, feasible, and cost-optimized possibility to intensify and simplify the communication between patients and their treating physicians, thus promising an exceptional benefit to both.
