A comprehensive study of mobile-health based assistive technology for the healthcare of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Review in Health care management science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04572022 (Impact of Mobile Health Technology Application on Proximal Humerus Fracture Care Practice and Patient Self-Care Outcomes - A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 38 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
Assistive technology (AT) involvement in therapeutic treatment has provided simple and efficient healthcare solutions to people. Within a short span of time, mobile health (mHealth) has grown rapidly for assisting people living with a chronic disorder. This research paper presents the comprehensive study to identify and review existing mHealth dementia applications (apps), and also synthesize the evidence of using these applications in assisting people with dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their caregivers. Six electronic databases searched with the purpose of finding literature-based evidence. The search yielded 2818 research articles, with 29 meeting quantified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Six groups and their associated sub-groups emerged from the literature. The main groups are (1) activities of daily living (ADL) based cognitive training, (2) monitoring, (3) dementia screening, (4) reminiscence and socialization, (5) tracking, and (6) caregiver support. Moreover, two commercial mobile application stores i.e., Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android) explored with the intention of identifying the advantages and disadvantages of existing commercially available dementia and AD healthcare apps. From 678 apps, a total of 38 mobile apps qualified as per defined exclusion and inclusion criteria. The shortlisted commercial apps generally targeted different aspects of dementia as identified in research articles. This comprehensive study determined the feasibility of using mobile Health based applications for dementia including AD individuals and their caregivers regardless of limited available research, and these apps have capability to incorporate a variety of strategies and resources to dementia community care.
