A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care: Design and Development Using an Adapted Software Development Life Cycle Model.
Article in JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundNurses are increasingly spending time on computers, and providing them with a tailored tool to access clinical information and perform documentation at the bedside could help to improve their efficiency. Designing an app to support nurses' work at the bedside is a challenging task, given the complexity of the care process.
objectiveThis study aimed to present the design, development, and testing of a smartphone app for nurses guided by an adapted software development life cycle model that takes into consideration the complexity and constraints of a health care setting.
methodsThe model drives us through an iterative development process intersected by 3 stages of formative evaluation of growing ecological validity.
resultsThe initial requirements identification stage included 11 participants who helped us select the most important functionalities to integrate into the tool. Starting with a usability evaluation allowed for the identification of design issues that could have caused misuse. Then, making on-site evaluations under the supervision of an investigator helped to understand the adequacy of the tool with limited risks. Finally, the on-site evaluation allowed us to validate the acceptance of the app by caregivers.
conclusionsThe interpretation of the collected evaluation confirms the necessary involvement of end users early in the process to help address the heterogeneity of the nursing workflow processes in the different wards. We also highlight the delicate balance between high-security measures to protect access to patient data and maintaining ease of access for efficiency and usability. Although a close collaboration with clinicians throughout the entire project facilitated the development of a tailored solution, it was also important to involve all stakeholders, in particular, the information technology (IT) security officers.
